Min and Max of a list of Associations

I am trying to find the minimum values for all elements in a list of associations, below is an example



x = {<|"a"-> 4, "b"->9, "c"->15|>, <|"a"->21, "b"->11, "c"->1|>, <|"a"->12, "b"->3, "c"->21|>}



Required output for Min
{<|"a"-> 2, "b"->3, "c"->1|>}



Required output for Max
{<|"a"-> 21, "b"->11, "c"->15|>}




My attempt
for Max: MaximalBy[Values]@x
Result: {<|"a" -> 21, "b" -> 11, "c" -> 1|>}



for Min: MinimalBy[Values]@x
Result: {<|"a" -> 4, "b" -> 9, "c" -> 15|>}



Is there an elegant way to achieve this result?

    I don't get it. How is the key a getting the value 2? That value does not appear for a in any of the associations. Similarly, why is the value of c not equal to 21 in the maximal result?

How about



a = {

    <|"a" -> 4, "b" -> 9, "c" -> 15|>,

    <|"a" -> 21, "b" -> 11, "c" -> 1|>,

    <|"a" -> 12, "b" -> 3, "c" -> 21|>

};



Merge[a, Apply[Min]]



(*<|"a" -> 4, "b" -> 3, "c" -> 1|>*)



Merge[a, Apply[Max]]



(*<|"a" -> 21, "b" -> 11, "c" -> 21|>*)
