6. A school has a rule that each student must participate in a sports activity. So each one should
give only one preference for sports activity. Suppose there are five students in a class, each

I) Roll no 24 may not be interested in sports. Can a NULL value be assigned to that
student’s preference field?
a. True b. False
II) Roll no 17 has given two preferences sports. Can we use any constraint or key in
the relational DBMS to check against such violation, if any,name it?
a. UNIQUE B. NOT NULL C. DEFAULT B.PRIMARY KEY
III) Kabaddi was not chosen by any student. Is it possible tohave this tuple in the
Sports Preferences relation?
a. True b. False
IV) How many tuples are stored in above table?
a. 2 b.7 c.8 d.Null
