Assertion : NAND is a universal gate. ...

Assertion : NAND is a universal gate.
Reason : It can be used to describe all other logic gates.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reasonb is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
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).
