A technician is adding an internal PnP modem to a system, but a check of system resources shows that all available IRQs are reserved or being used by other devices. What could the technician do to get the device to work?
* manually assign the IRQ of another device that is not expected to be used at the same time as the modem
* use trial and error to find an IRQ that will work with the modem
* configure the modem to work without an IRQ
* change CMOS settings to allow the BIOS to free up an unused IRQ
* configure the modem to use a DMA address instead of an IRQ

Sounds like an old computer.
change CMOS settings to allow the BIOS to free up an unused IRQ

What are you taking? A course on how to work with 12 year old computers? You can share IRQs. You just can't use the same one on two things at the same time.

Read the book, and do your own homework!
But. You go into the BIOS and disable something that is not being used -- disable a COM port or the parallel port or a secondary IDE interface -- whatever. Then you can use the IRQ you just freed by disabling the unused hardware.

Shared IRQ's are not an issue in modern PC's.
If it truly is "plug & play" .... as opposed to "plug & pray" (lol)... then your OS will indeed handle the situation accordingly by swapping resources back & forth on the fly.
Like the others have stated .... do your own homework, dude.

How do you get that ananda? purely after information what that is and a thanks to attain it by a study of Vedas and Sastras. once you adventure that ananda, then each and every thing else loses value. First we ought to detect undemanding procedures to face. Then purely we may be able to stroll step with the help of step and also run. We study about reality from the Vedas and the Sastras and practise Yoga as a way of reaching the purpose of self-realisation.
