Consider the B+ tree in the adjoining figure, where each node has at most two keys and three links.
Now the key K 50 is deleted from the B+ tree resulting after the two insertions made earlier. Consider the following statements about the B+ tree resulting after this deletion.
i) The height of the tree remains the same.
ii) The node (disregarding the links) is present in the tree.
iii) The root node remains unchanged (disregarding the links).

Consider a table T in a relational database with a key field K. A B-tree of order p is used as an access structure on K, where p denotes the maximum number of tree pointers in a B-tree index node. Assume that K is 10 bytes long; disk block size is 512 bytes; each data pointer PD is 8 bytes long and each block pointer PB is 5 bytes long. In order for each B-tree node to fit in a single disk block, the maximum value of p is
