Data Base Related Question Required Answer

Solution:

1st NF

The table is in 1st NF as all the attributes have an atomic value.

 2nd NF

In second NF we have divided the patient relation into three relations that are:
1. Patient
2. Nextofkin
3. Doctor

The reason was that some of the attributes were not fully dependent on the primary key which is Patient No. Thus we divided into three relations in order to remove the partial dependency.

3NF

In 3rd NF we have further divided the Nextofkin tables into two relations that are:
