A
A cell in R holds a set instead of an atomic value.
B
R has a nontrivial functional dependency X $$ \to $$ A, where X is not a superkey and A is a non-prime attribute and X is not a proper subset of any key
C
R has a nontrivial functional dependency X $$ \to $$ A, where X is not a superkey and A is a non-prime attribute and X is a proper subset of some key.
D
R has a nontrivial functional dependency X $$ \to $$ A, where X is not a superkey and A is a prime attribute.

II. Decomposition of X into Y and Z is dependency preserving and lossless

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
A
I only
B
Neither I nor II
C
II only
D

Consider an Entity-Relationship (ER) model in which entity sets E1 and E2 are connected by an m : n relationship R12. E1 and E3 are connected by a 1 : n (1 on the side of E1 and n on the side of E3) relationship R13.

E1 has two single-valued attributes a11 and a12 of which a11 is the key attribute. E2 has two single-valued attributes a21 and a22 of which a21 is the key attribute. E3 has two single-valued attributes a31 and a32 of which a31 is the key attribute. The relationships do not have any attributes.

If a relational model is derived from the above ER model, then the minimum number of relations that would be generated if all the relations are in 3NF is _______.
