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
A
a serializable schedule
B
a schedule that is not conflict serializable
C
a conflict serializable schedule
D
a schedule for which precedence graph cannot be drawn

Let R and S be relational schemes such that R = { a, b, c } and S = { c }. Now consider the following queries on the database:

I. $$\pi_{R-S}(r) - \pi_{R-S} \left (\pi_{R-S} (r) \times s - \pi_{R-S,S}(r)\right )$$

II. $$\left\{t \mid t \in \pi_{R-S} (r) \wedge \forall u \in s \left(\exists v \in r \left(u = v[S] \wedge t = v\left[R-S\right]\right )\right )\right\}$$

III.$$\left\{t \mid t \in \pi_{R-S} (r) \wedge \forall v \in r \left(\exists u \in s \left(u = v[S] \wedge t = v\left[R-S\right]\right )\right ) \right\}$$

IV. Select R.a, R.b
    From R, S
    Where R.c = S.c
Which of the above queries are equivalent?
A
I and II
B
I and III
C
II and IV
