u can avoid deadlock by using bankers algo. but u need to know in advance no. and types of resources in system, the max no. of requests for a type of resource by a process and no. and types of resources in system that are available currently.

Knowing in advance the req. resources is not very practical.

generally a deadlock occurs when we have a circular wait condition. resolving deadlocks is tough problem as it is scenario based.
