True.

When a fork() system called on parent process (say p1) then it created a image of process P1 (say P2). So P1 has to create a new entry for p2 in the open file table.

ans is true  .because whenever fork calls a parent process ,then OS provides a new memory area in a main memory where a new process called  child process which have exactly the same content as in parent process,but both will have different memory address space. and thier operation will be independent of others.

and here the open file table term seems the same meaning as provding a memory area in a available space.
