Computer Science · Database Management Systems
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Decomposing a relation R(A, B, C) with the functional dependency A → B into two sub-relations R1(A, B) and R2(A, C) guarantees a lossless decomposition. Reason R: The common attribute {A} between R1 and R2 acts as the determinant for all attributes of R1, satisfying the formal condition of Heath's Theorem. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- 1A is not correct but R is correct
- 2A is correct but R is not correct
- 3Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A✓
- 4Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
