Ans: Yes, ‘main thread’ is the default Serial Queue.

13. Can we create our own Serial Queue and Concurrent Queue?
Ans: Yes.

14. What is Serial Queue?
Ans: Serial Queue can only execute one task at a time. But at a time we execute multiple tasks from two different serial Queues separately , which means at anytime one serial queue execute only one task.

15. when is the good  situation to use serial Queues?
Ans: Its really for managing shared resource. And its guaranteeing serialized access to the shared resource and prevent race conditions. we can use, when we have a situation to execute tasks in predicable order.
