@ALL.

Every time attribute A appears, it is matched with the same value of attribute B, but not the same value of attribute C. Therefore, it is true that:

A. A -> B.
B. A -> C.
C. A -> (B,C).
D. (B,C) -> A.
Answer: Option A.

So, How it's answer is same as above question? Please, anyone explain me.

There is a different between determines and determine of.

If determine of then B->A but here determines B and C so A->B.

If attribute A determines both attributes B and C then answers will be:.

A -->B, A-->C.

Solution of this question is not right. According to your question an attribute A determines both B and C, then answer must be A->B, A->C or A->(B, C) or A->BC.

Apply Decomposition rule on A -> (B, C) we get A -> B and A->C.

The question is saying that A determines both B and C. But no option suggest that A is determining C.

Really have no idea what should be the correct answer?

Please suggest the correct answer with reason.

I think answer is correct. By splitting A -> (B, C) to A ->B, A ->C.
