An AND gate can be constructed by the repeated use of
Options
- AOR gate
- BNOT gate
- CNAND gate
- DNOR gate
Correct answer
D. NOR gate
Step-by-step solution
NAND and NOR gates are universal logic gates, meaning any Boolean function or basic logic gate can be constructed using only NAND gates or only NOR gates. Using only NAND gates, an AND gate can be constructed by passing the output of a NAND gate through a NOT gate (which is made by tying the inputs of another NAND gate together): Y = A B = A B = NAND ( NAND (A, B), NAND (A, B)) Using only NOR gates, an AND gate can be constructed by applying De Morgan's laws: Y = A B = A + B = NOR ( NOR (A, A), NOR (B, B)) Therefor
