Question 12

Consider a relation scheme R = (A, B, C, D, E, H) on which the following functional dependencies hold: {A → B, BC → D, E → C, D → A}. What are the candidate keys of R?

A
AE, BE
B
AE, BE, DE
C
AEH, BEH, BCH
D
AEH, BEH, DEH
Question 12 Explanation: 
Using the given functional dependencies and looking at the dependent attributes, E and H are not dependent on any. So, they must be a part of any candidate key.
So only option (D) contains E and H as part of candidate key.
Correct Answer: D
