Question 43

Which of the following functional dependencies hold for relations R(A, B, C) and S(B, D, E):

B -> A
A -> C

The relation R contains 200 tuples and the rel ation S contains 100 tuples. What is the maximum number of tuples possible in the natural join of R and S (R natural join S)

A
100
B
200
C
300
D
2000
Question 43 Explanation: 
Given
R(A, B, C) – 200 tuples
S(B, D, E) – 100 tuples
FD’s:
B → A
A → C
― ‘B’ is primary key for R and foreign key of S from the given FDs.
― Maximum tuples in natural join of R and S is min(200, 100) = 100.
Correct Answer: A
