11:  
Consider the following ORACLE relations :
 
R (A, B, C) = {<1, 2, 3>, <1, 2, 0>, <1, 3, 1>, <6, 2, 3>, <1, 4, 2>, <3, 1, 4> }
S (B, C, D) = {<2, 3, 7>, <1, 4, 5>, <1, 2, 3>, <2, 3, 4>, <3, 1, 4>}.
 
Consider the following two SQL queries SQ1 and SQ2 :
 
SQ1 : SELECT R⋅B, AVG (S⋅B)
         FROM R, S
         WHERE R⋅A = S⋅C AND S⋅D < 7
         GROUP BY R⋅B;
 
SQ2 : SELECT DISTINCT S⋅B, MIN (S⋅C)
          FROM S
          GROUP BY S⋅B
          HAVING COUNT (DISTINCT S⋅D) > 1;
 
If M is the number of tuples returned by SQ1 and N is the number of tuples returned by SQ2 then
A.

M = 4, N = 2

B.

M = 5, N = 3

C.

M = 2, N = 2

D.

M = 3, N = 3

Consider the Breshenham’s circle generation algorithm for plotting a circle with centre (0, 0) and radius ‘r’ units in first quadrant.If the current point is (xi, y) and decision parameter is pthen what will be the next point (xi+1, yi + 1) and updated decision parameter pi + 1 for pi ≥ 0 ?
A.
xi + 1 = xi+ 1
yi + 1 = yi
pi + 1 = pi+ 4xi+ 6
B.
xi + 1 = xi+ 1
yi + 1 = yi – 1
pi + 1 = pi+ 4 (xi– yi) + 10

 

C.

xi + 1 = xi

yi + 1 = yi – 1

pi + 1 = pi + 4 (xi – yi ) + 6
D.
xi + 1 = xi– 1
yi + 1 = yi
pi + 1 = pi + 4xi + 10

Let R be the rectangular window against which the lines are to be clipped using 2D Sutherland-Cohen line clipping algorithm. The rectangular window has lower left-hand corner at (– 5, 1) and upper right-hand corner at (3, 7). Consider the following three lines for clipping with the given end point co-ordinates :
 
Line AB : A (– 6, 2) and B (–1, 8)
 
Line CD : C (– 1, 5) and D (4, 8)
 
Line EF : E (–2, 3) and F (1, 2)
 
Which of the following line(s) is/are candidate for clipping ?
A.

AB

B.

CD

C.

EF

D.

AB and CD

 
 

Option: D
