Consider the following schedule S of transactions T1, T2, T3, T4:

Consider the transactions T1, T2, and T3 and the schedules S1 and S2 given below.

T1 : r1 (X) ; r1 (Z) ; w1 (X) ; w1 (Z)

T2 : r2 (X) ; r2 (Z) ; w2 (Z)

T3 : r3 (X) ; r3 (X) ; w3 (Y)

S1: r1(X); r3(Y); r3(X); r2(Y); r2(Z); w3(Y); w2(Z); r1(Z); w1(X); w1(Z)

S2: r1(X); r3(Y); r2(Y); r3(X); r1(Z); r2(Z); w3(Y); w1(X); w2(Z); w1(Z)

Which one of the following statements about the schedules is TRUE?

Consider the following four schedules due to three transactions (indicated by the subscript) using read and write on a data item x, denoted by r(x) and w(x) respectively. Which one of them is conflict serializable?

Consider the following transactions with data items P and Q initialized to zero:

T1 : read (P) ; 
     read (Q) ; 
     if P = 0 then Q : = Q + 1 ; 
     write (Q). 

T2 : read (Q) ; 
     read (P) 
     if Q = 0 then P : = P + 1 ; 
     write (P).

Any non-serial interleaving of T₁ and T₂ for concurrent execution leads to
