Let R and S be two relations with the following schema
I. $$\Pi_P \left(R \bowtie S\right)$$
II. $$\Pi_P \left(R\right) \bowtie \Pi_P\left(S\right)$$
III. $$\Pi_P \left(\Pi_{P, Q} \left(R\right) \cap \Pi_{P,Q} \left(S\right) \right)$$
IV. $$\Pi_P \left(\Pi_{P, Q} \left(R\right) - \left(\Pi_{P,Q} \left(R\right) - \Pi_{P,Q} \left(S\right)\right)\right)$$
R (P, Q, R1, R2, R3)
S (P, Q, S1, S2)
Where {P, Q} is the key for both schemas. Which of the following queries are equivalent?I. $$\Pi_P \left(R \bowtie S\right)$$
II. $$\Pi_P \left(R\right) \bowtie \Pi_P\left(S\right)$$
III. $$\Pi_P \left(\Pi_{P, Q} \left(R\right) \cap \Pi_{P,Q} \left(S\right) \right)$$
IV. $$\Pi_P \left(\Pi_{P, Q} \left(R\right) - \left(\Pi_{P,Q} \left(R\right) - \Pi_{P,Q} \left(S\right)\right)\right)$$

Consider the following relation schemas :
Пc-name (σb-city = “Agra” ⋀ bal < 0 (branch $$ \Join $$ (account $$ \Join $$ depositor))
b-Schema = (b-name, b-city, assets)
a-Schema = (a-num, b-name, bal)
d-Schema = (c-name, a-number)
Let branch, account and depositor be respectively instances of the above schemas. Assume that account and depositor relations are much bigger than the branch relation.
Consider the following query:Пc-name (σb-city = “Agra” ⋀ bal < 0 (branch $$ \Join $$ (account $$ \Join $$ depositor))
Which one of the following queries is the most efficient version of the above query ?
