Assertion: NAND or NOR gates are called ...

Assertion: `NAND` or `NOR` gates are called digital building blocks.
Reason: The repeated use of `NAND` (or `NOR`) gates can produce all the basic or complicated gates.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
These gates are called digital building blocks because using these gates only (either NAND or NOR) we can compile all other gates also (like OR, AND, NOT, XOR).
