Explanation:

The said query in SQL that selects the emp_id, emp_name, dep_id, dep_location, and dep_name from the employees and department tables where the dep_id in the employees table is either 1001 or 2001.

The WHERE clause makes an implicit join between 'employees' and 'department' tables based on the dep_id column and includes only rows where the dep_id in the 'employees' table is either 1001 or 2001.
