@Manoj.

Then what's difference between must & must not?

Ternary and higher-order relationships can be treated as combinations of binary relationships.

There are three types of binary constraints: MUST, MUST NOT, and MUST COVER.

MUST NOT constraint: the binary relationship indicates combinations that are not allowed to occur in the ternary relationship.

MUST COVER constraint: the binary relationship indicates all combinations that must appear in the ternary relationship.
