Solution

As we know Segment tables is the collection of Base Limit Registers, these Segments can be shared when there are entries in the Segment table of two different jobs and both point to the same physical location. Two segment tables are required to have same base Pointers, also the shared segment number should be same in both the processes. In this way one segment could belong to the address space of two different processes.
