Answer 1

There are two basic challenges with this; splitting the comma separated list of values and then only displaying the first instance of ID and NAME. There may be more efficient or elegant ways to achieve this. However, I have chosen a brute force approach using a cursor. Here you go.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Temp', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Temp;
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Results', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results;
CREATE TABLE #Temp (
ID INT
, NAME CHAR(3)
, TYPE VARCHAR(10)
)
CREATE TABLE #Results (
ID VARCHAR(3)
, NAME CHAR(3)
, TYPE VARCHAR(10)
)
INSERT INTO #Temp (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (1, 'ABC', '1,2,3,4')
INSERT INTO #Temp (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (2, 'PQR', '2,3,5')
INSERT INTO #Temp (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (3, 'XYZ', '1,4')
INSERT INTO #Temp (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (4, 'TCS', '3,1')
INSERT INTO #Temp (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (5, 'PPP', '2,3')
DECLARE #First BIT
DECLARE #ValueList VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE #pos INT
DECLARE #len INT
DECLARE #value VARCHAR(100)
/* declare cursor variables */
DECLARE #ID INT
DECLARE #NAME CHAR(3)
DECLARE #TYPE VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE MyCursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD READ_ONLY
FOR
SELECT * FROM #Temp
OPEN MyCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM MyCursor INTO #ID, #NAME, #TYPE
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #ValueList = #TYPE + ','
SET #pos = 0
SET #len = 0
SET #First = 1
WHILE CHARINDEX(',', #ValueList, #pos + 1) > 0
BEGIN
SET #len = CHARINDEX(',', #ValueList, #pos + 1) - #pos
SET #value = SUBSTRING(#ValueList, #pos, #len)
SET #pos = CHARINDEX(',', #ValueList, #pos + #len) + 1
IF (#First = 1)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #Results (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES (#ID, #NAME, #value)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #Results (ID, NAME, TYPE) VALUES ('', '', #value)
END
SET #First = 0
END
FETCH NEXT FROM MyCursor INTO #ID, #NAME, #TYPE
END
CLOSE MyCursor
DEALLOCATE MyCursor
SELECT * FROM #Results
Enjoy,
