In a collection that contains 100 post documents, what does the following command do? db. posts. find().skip(5).limit(5)

Question

Options

• ASkip and limit nullify each other. Hence returning the first five documents
• BLimits the first five documents and then return them in reverse order
• CSkips the first five documents and returns the sixth document five times
• DSkips the first five documents and returns the next five

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  7% (3)
• D
  88% (37)

Explanation

db.posts.find().skip(5).limit(5) chains two cursor modifiers: skip(5) moves past the first 5 documents, and limit(5) caps the result at 5 documents - so you get documents 6 through 10, making D correct. Option A is wrong because skip and limit are independent operations that don't cancel each other out. Option B is wrong because limit restricts the count of results returned, not their order. Option C is wrong because limit(5) returns up to 5 distinct documents, not one document repeated five times.

Memory tip: Think of it like a book - skip is the page you open to, and limit is how many pages you read from there. Skip 5, read 5 = pages 6–10.
