why NAND or NOR gates are called universal gate?

Open in App

Solution

The repeated use of NAND (or NOR) gates can produce all the three basic gates i.e., OR, AND and NOT gates ; whose various combinations provide us large no. of complicated digital circiuts.
Any circuit can be implemented using NAND or NOR gate(one at a time).
