Question 39

Consider the relation scheme R = (E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N) and the set of functional dependencies  {{E,F} → {G}, {F} → {I,J}, {E,H} → {K,L}, {K} → {M}, {L} → {N}} on R. What is the key for R?

A
{E,F}
B
{E,F,H}
C
{E,F,H,K,L}
D
{E}
Question 39 Explanation: 
A) (EF)+ = EFGIJ. So, EF is not a key.
B) (EFH)+ = EFHGIJKLMN, EFH is deriving all the attributes of R. So, EFH is a key.
C) If EFH is a key, then EFHKL will become the super key.
D) (E)+ = E
Correct Answer: B
