| Question 13 |
Consider the following functional dependencies in a database:
Data_of_Birth → Age Age → Eligibility Name → Roll_number Roll_number → Name Course_number → Course_name Course_number → Instructor (Roll_number, Course_number) → Grade
The relation (Roll_number, Name, Date_of_birth, Age) is:
| in second normal form but not in third normal form | |
| in third normal form but not in BCNF | |
| in BCNF | |
| in none of the above |
Question 13 Explanation:
Three FD’s are valid from the above set of FD’s for the given relation.
Date_of_Birth → Age
Name → Roll_number
Roll_number → Name
Candidate keys for the above are:
(Date_of_Birth, Name) and (Date_of_Birth, Roll_number)
Clearly, there is a partial dependency,
Date_of_Birth → Age
So, it is only in 1NF.
Date_of_Birth → Age
Name → Roll_number
Roll_number → Name
Candidate keys for the above are:
(Date_of_Birth, Name) and (Date_of_Birth, Roll_number)
Clearly, there is a partial dependency,
Date_of_Birth → Age
So, it is only in 1NF.
Correct Answer: D
