Stephen · Answer 1

a) We know that atleast one or more author writes a book.

Symbol to indicate one or more is (B)

So the correct option is B

b) We know that zero to multiple books are written by any author.

Symbol to indicate zero or more is (A)

So the correct option is A

c) The fourth option is correct if we replace by many to many relationship and generate a new entity.

So the relationship betweem author and contract is one to many. So we know that there is atleast one author that represent in symbol d and books has atleast 0 that represent in symbol c.

So Fourth Option is correct d at blue side and c at red side.

d) There are two forirgn keys in table Contract one is from AuthorId and other is ISBN.

So correcct option is C
