Seems to be a lot missing assumptions. Each given answer can be correct given different starting conditions.

I also failed to understand the logic beyond this question because if I try to fire this query

WITH Users(UserID, UserName)

AS( SELECT TOP 1 intUserID, strUserName FROM tblUsers)

SELECT TOP 2 tblUsers.*, Users.* FROM tblUsers, Users

it will give me an error because the table is not existing in my database

This is act as a cross join. so 2*1 rows = 2 rows... if there is any where condition provided it acts as a normal join And we have to assume the tblUsers table is exists.....nice question.....Thanks...

Assuming the original table has two records in it is a big thing here too. The answer is notably different when you only start with one record. I am generally against being clever with "non standard" or "non generally accepted" syntax for the sake of acadamia. In this case the natural join.
