Q8.

Let the set of functional dependencies F=\{QR\rightarrow S,R\rightarrow P,S\rightarrow Q\} hold on a relation schema X = (PQRS). X is not in BCNF. Suppose X is decomposed into two schemas Y and Z where Y = (PR) and Z = (QRS). Consider the two statements given below: I. Both Y and Z are in BCNF II. Decomposition of X into Y and Z is dependency preserving and lossless. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
