A-3E, BSA, AB-*A, AB-B, C4E}.
(a) Find attribute closure of {AB}+ and {BC}+ (11V)

connectivity from one entity to another.entity. (4M)
"Each company operates maximum of eight departments, and each department belongs to one
company. Each department employs one or more employees, and each employee works for one
department. Each employee may or may not have any dependents, and each dependent belongs to one
employee, whereas a dependent cannot exist without an employee. An employee can be assigned to
multiple projects. A project can belong to multiple departments where many employees can work, and
a department can have multiple projects. Every entity has its ID and Name.
b) Convert the ER cl.agram to corresponding relational schemas with minimum number of tables.
Specify the primary key and foreign key attributes in each relational schema. (5M)
