In database systems, a serial schedule is one where transactions execute one after another, without any interleaving of operations. If there are 'n' transactions, the number of possible serial schedules is the number of ways to order these 'n' transactions, which is n!. In this problem, there are 5 transactions. Therefore, the number of possible serial schedules is 5!.
A serializable schedule has 5 transactions, each with 2 operations. How many possible serial schedules exist?
