Answer to Question 1

The three problems that can occur because of concurrent processing are dirty reads, nonrepeatable reads, and phantom reads. A dirty read occurs when a transaction reads a changed record that has not been committed to the database. If the change is cancelled before it is committed, then the read will contain incorrect data. A nonrepeatable read occurs when a transaction rereads data and finds modifications or deletions caused by another transaction. A phantom read occurs when a transaction rereads data and finds new rows that were inserted by another transaction since the prior read.

Answer to Question 2
