  1. The following functional dependencies hold true for the relational schema R{V,W,Xt Y,Z}
    V → W
    VW → X
    Y → VX
    Y → Z
    Which of the following is irreducible equivalent for this set of functional dependencies?
    1. V → W
      V → X
      Y → V
      Y → Z
    2. V → W
      W → X
      Y → V
      Y → Z
    3. V → W
      V → X
      Y → V
      Y → X
      Y → Z
    4. V → W
      W → X
      Y → V
      Y → X
      Y → Z
Correct Option: A

The given functional dependencies are for the relational schema R (V, W, X, Y, Z)

Where as, W is extraneous from (VW → X)

Where, (Y → X) is redundant functional dependence.

It is the minimal set that cover all the given functional dependencies and it is irreducible equivalent to this given F.D.
