Question

In a particular bank, a loan can belong to only one customer and a customer can have several loans. Then the relationship from customer to loans is

• A. Many to many
• B. Many to one
• C. One to one
• D. One to many

Hint:

In a one-to-many relationship, one entity (in this case, the customer) can be associated with multiple instances of another entity (the loans).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- One to many: This is the correct answer because each customer can have several loans, but each loan belongs to only one customer. Hence, the relationship is one-to-many.
- Many to many: This is incorrect because each loan belongs to exactly one customer, not multiple customers.
- Many to one: This is incorrect because a customer can have multiple loans, not just one.
- One to one: This is incorrect because a customer can have several loans, not just one.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4. One to many.
