For the relation R(A,B,C,D,E) with the following FDs:
A → B, C → D, AB → C, BC → A

1. List all non-trivial FDs following from the above. (2 marks)






2. Generate all possible keys for R. (2 marks)




3. Check whether R is in BCNF. If it is in BCNF, explain the criteria you used. If it is not in BCNF, convert it into BCNF, showing the new relations and their FDs. (5 marks)
