Let MX and MY denote the respective maximum values of X and Y among all records in the table at any point in time. Using MX and MY, new records are inserted in the table 128 times with X and Y values being MX + 1, 2*MY + 1 respectively. It may be noted that each time after the insertion, values of MX and MY change.

What will be the output of the following SQL query after the steps mentioned above are carried out?

SELECT Y FROM T WHERE X=7;

Suppliers(sid : integer, sname : string, city : string, street : string)

Parts(pid : integer, pname : string, color : string)

Catalog(sid : integer, pid : integer, cost : real)

Consider the following relational query on the above database:
SELECT S.sname 
FROM Suppliers S 
WHERE S.sid NOT IN 
     (SELECT C.sid 
      FROM Catalog C 
      WHERE C.pid NOT IN 
        (SELECT P.pid 
         FROM Parts P 
         WHERE P.color<> 'blue'))
Assume that relations corresponding to the above schema are not empty. Which one of the following is the correct interpretation of the above query?

Consider The Following Relational Scheme

Student (school-id, sch-roll-no, sname, saddress)
School (school-id, sch-name, sch-address, sch-phone)
Enrolment (school-id, sch-roll-no, erollno, examname)
ExamResult (Erollno, examname, marks)

Consider the following tuple relational calculus query

{ t | ∃E ∈ Enrolment t = E.school-id ∧ 
| { x | x ∈ ExamResult B.school-id = 
t ∧ ( ∃B ∈ ExamResult B.erollno = 
x.erollno ∧ B.examname = x.examname ∧ 
B.marks > 35 } | ÷ | 
{ x | x ∈ Enrolment ∧ x.school-id = t } 
| * 100 > 35 }
If a student needs to score more than 35 marks to pass an exam what does the query return?
A
The empty set
B
Schools with more than 35% of it's student enrolled in some exam or the other
C
Schools with a pass percentage above 35% over all exams taken together
D
Schools with a pass percentage above 35% over each exam.
