Assertion : NAND is a universal gate. Reason : It can be used to describe all other logic gates.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
NAND and NOR gates are treated as universal gates because all other basic gates AND gate OR gate and NOT gate can be constructed using only NAND gate (or NOR gate).
