    Consider the relational algebra expression $$ \Pi_{P, R, S} \left[ \left( \sigma_{(Q = Q3 \lor R = R2)} [X \bowtie Y] \right) \bowtie \left( \sigma_{(S > 1)} [Y \bowtie Z] \right) \right] $$ where $\bowtie$ denotes natural join operation. 

    Which of the following options is the correct output for the given expression?

  2. Consider a relational database schema with two relations $R(P, Q)$ and $S(X, Y)$.
    Let $E = \{\langle u \rangle \mid \exists v\ \exists w\ \langle u, v \rangle \in R\ \land\ \langle v, w \rangle \in S\}$ be a tuple relational calculus expression.
    Which one of the following relational algebraic expressions is equivalent to $E$ ?
  3. Consider a database that includes the following relations: 

    Defender($name, rating, side, goals$) 

    Forward($name, rating, assists, goals$) 

    Team($name, club, price$) 

    Which ONE of the following relational algebra expressions checks that every name occurring in Team appears in either Defender or Forward, where $\phi$ denotes the empty set?

  4. Consider the following three relations:
    Car (model, year, serial, color)
    Make (maker, model)
    Own (owner, serial)
    A tuple in Car represents a specific car of a given model, made in a given year, with a serial number and a color. A tuple in Make specifies that a maker company makes cars of a certain model. A tuple in Own specifies that an owner owns the car with a given serial number. Keys are underlined; (owner, serial) together form key for Own. ($\bowtie$ denotes natural join)
    $ \pi_{\text{owner}} (\text{Own} \bowtie (\sigma_{\text{color}=\text{"red"}} (\text{Car} \bowtie (\sigma_{\text{maker}=\text{“ABC”}} \text{Make})))) $

  5. Consider the following tables, Loan and Borrower of a bank.
