| Q4➡ | NTA UGC NET June 2021 overlapping constraints Disjoint constraint A company is consuming parts in the manufacturing of other products. Each of the part is either manufactured within the company or purchased from the external suppliers or both. For each part, part_number, part_name is maintained. Attribute batch_number is maintained if the consumed part is manufactured in the company. If part is purchased from external supplier, then supplier name is maintained. Which of the following constraints need to be considered when modelling class/subclass concepts in ERD for the given problem. |
| i ➥ Disjoint constraint only |
| ii ➥ Partial participation and disjoint constraints |
| iii ➥ Partial participation |
| iv ➥ Total specialization and overlapping constraints |
| Answer – IV Explanation: Disjoint Constraint • A disjoint constraint requires that Higher level entity set belong to only one lower-level entity set. • For example, an account entity can be either a savings account or a current account , but cannot be both. Here account is higher level entity and saving account , current account are lower level entities.  Partial Participation • It is not based on Generization/ Specialization. • The entity in the entity set may or may not participate in the relationship. • Suppose employee entity manages department entity. Here, manages is a relationship between employee and department. Not every employee manage department only manager manages department. So, participation of employee entity is partial.  Total Specialization • Each higher-level entity must belong to a lower-level entity set. • For example, employee must be either teaching faculty or non-teaching faculty or both . Here, employee entity must belong to Lower level entity.  Overlapping Constraints • In overlapping Constraints, the same Higher level entity may belong to more than one lower-level entity set. • For example, person entity may belong to both customer entitity and employee entity.  Now come to the question to understand, • One of the Line of question: Each of the part is either manufactured within the company or purchased from the external suppliers or both.point1: part entity either belong to one of the lower level entity or more than one lower level entity. Therefore, Overlapping Constraints need to be considered. point2: part entity must belong to either of the lower level entity. Therefore, Total specialization need to be considered. So, Option(IV) is correct. |

| Q7➡ | NTA UGC NET June 2021 Given the following STUDENT-COURSE scheme: STUDENT (Rollno, Name, Courseno) COURSE (Courseno, Coursename, Capacity), where Rollno is the primary key of relation STUDENT and Courseno is the primary key of relation COURSE. Attribute Coursename of COURSE takes unique values only. The number of records in COURSE and STUDENT tables are 3 and 5 respectively. Following relational algebra query is executed: R=STUDENT X COURSE Match List I with List II in context to the above problem statement.  Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
| i ➥ A -I , B -III , C -IV , D – II |
| ii ➥ A -I , B -III , C -IV , D – II |
| iii ➥ A -I , B -III, C -II , D – IV |
| iv ➥ A -III , B -I , C -IV , D – II |
| Answer – IV Explanation: A. Degree of Table R: The number of Attributes/Column in a table is called Degree of Table.  Degree of Table R is 6. B. Cardinality of Table R: The number of Tuples/records in a table is called Cardinality of Table. Since, The number of records in COURSE and STUDENT tables are 3 and 5 respectively. Cardinality of Table = 3 x 5 = 15 records C. Foreign key of relation STUDENT: Courseno is the primary key of relation COURSE and Courseno is the Foreign key of relation STUDENT. Because Foreign key is an attribute which referred to primary key of another Table. C. Foreign key of relation COURSE: There is no Foreign key in a relation COURSE. So, Option(IV) is correct. |

| Q8➡ | NTA UGC NET June 2021 Given a relation scheme R(x,y,z,w) with functional dependencies set F={x→y, z→w}. All attributes take single and atomic values only. A. Relation R is in First Normal FORM B. Relation R is in Second Normal FORM C. Primary key of R is xz Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
| i ➥ A and C only |
| ii ➥ B and C only |
| iii ➥ B only |
| iv ➥ C only |
| Answer – I Explanation: Given, Functional dependencies set F={x→y, z→w} (xz)+ = xyzw Therefore, xz is a Candidate key. Concept, First Normal Form: A relation is in first normal form if every field contains only atomic values. Second Normal Form: In 2NF, part of the candidate key should not determined another Attributes( No partial dependency allow). Statement A: Relation R is in First Normal FORM (True) It is given All attributes take single and atomic values only. Therefore, Relation R is in 1NF. Statement B: Relation R is in Second Normal FORM (False) x→y, z→w Here, part of the candidate key (x) determined another attribute y. The Relation have partial Dependency. Therefore, The Relation is not in 2 NF. Statement C: Primary key of R is xz (True) we already seen above, xz is a primary key. So, Option(I) is correct. |

| Q11➡ | NTA UGC NET June 2021 Suppose a B+ tree is used for indexing a database file. Consider the following information: size of the search key field= 10 bytes, block size = 1024 bytes, size of the record pointer= 9 bytes, size of the block pointer= 8 bytes. Let K be the order of internal node and L be the order of leaf node of B+ tree, then (K, L)=_____, |
| i ➥ (34, 31) |
| ii ➥ (50, 52) |
| iii ➥ (57, 53) |
| iv ➥ (60, 64) |
| Answer: III Explaination: Given, Key size = 10 Byte, Block size = 1024 Byte, Record Pointer = 9 Byte, Block Pointer = 8 Byte. Asked, Order of Internal node of B+ Tree = ?, Order of Leaf/External node of B+ Tree = ?. Formula, For Internal node (B+ Tree) n* Block Pointer + (n-1)*Key size <= Block size, For Leaf/External node (B+ Tree) m*(Key size + Record Pointer) + Block Pointer <= Block size. Where, n= order of internal node, m= order of leaf/external node. Calculation, For Internal node (B+ Tree) => n* Block Pointer + (n-1)*Key size <= Block size, => n* 8 + (n-1)*10 <= 1024, => 8n + 10n – 10 <= 1024, => 18n <= 1034, => n <= 57.4 => n = 57 For Leaf/External node (B+ Tree) => m*(10 + 9) + 8 <= 1024, => 19m <= 1016, => m<= 53.4, => m = 53 So, Option(III) (57,53) is correct. |
