1. Inspection records must be deleted when their property record is deleted, and must always have a property. Which relationship fits?
- A.External lookup
- B.Master-detail
- C.Lookup
- D.Hierarchical
Answer: B. In a master-detail relationship the detail always needs a master, and deleting the master deletes its details. A lookup is optional and does not cascade.
2. Where can a roll-up summary field be created?
- A.On any lookup parent
- B.On the User object
- C.On the detail object
- D.On the master object
Answer: D. Roll-up summary fields sit on the master of a master-detail relationship and summarise its detail records (some standard relationships also allow them).
3. Which calculations can a roll-up summary field perform?
- A.COUNT, SUM, MIN and MAX
- B.Text joins of child names
- C.AVERAGE and MEDIAN only
- D.Any formula function at all
Answer: A. Roll-up summaries count detail records or take the sum, minimum or maximum of a field on them, optionally with filter criteria.
4. Students and courses have a many-to-many relationship. How is this modelled?
- A.A roll-up summary
- B.A record type
- C.A junction object
- D.A lookup on each side
Answer: C. A junction object with two master-detail relationships, one to each object, links many records on one side to many on the other.
5. On a junction object, which master-detail relationship sets the look and owner of its records?
- A.The one with more records
- B.The one chosen by the user
- C.The first one created
- D.The second one created
Answer: C. The first master-detail relationship created on a junction object is the primary one; it controls the junction record's look and feel and ownership.
6. An admin tries to change a lookup field to master-detail, but Salesforce blocks it. What is the most likely reason?
- A.Some records have it blank
- B.The field has help text set
- C.A report already uses the object
- D.The object already has a tab
Answer: A. A lookup can become master-detail only when every existing record has a value in the lookup field, because detail records always need a master.
7. Which relationship type is available only on the User object?
- A.Many-to-many
- B.Master-detail
- C.Lookup
- D.Hierarchical
Answer: D. A hierarchical relationship is a special lookup from a user to another user, such as a custom manager field.
8. A validation rule's error formula evaluates to true when a user saves a record. What happens?
- A.An email goes to the admin
- B.The save is blocked
- C.The record saves with a warning
- D.The field is cleared
Answer: B. A validation rule blocks the save and shows its error message whenever its formula returns true.
9. A discount over 20% must not be saved unless a reason is entered. What is the simplest declarative way?
- A.A compact layout
- B.A validation rule
- C.A roll-up summary field
- D.A sharing rule
Answer: B. A validation rule such as Discount above 0.2 with the reason blank stops the save and tells the user what to fix.
10. Which field type shows a value calculated from other fields and cannot be edited by users?
- A.External ID field
- B.Picklist field
- C.Auto-number field
- D.Formula field
Answer: D. Formula fields are read only and calculate their value each time the record is viewed, from fields on the record or on its parent records.
