Which combination of gates does not allow the implementation of an arbitrary boolean function?

  • A.OR gates and AND gates only
  • B.OR gates and exclusive OR gate only
  • C.OR gates and NOT gates only
  • D.NAND gates only

Answer: A

Correct answer: OR gates and AND gates only

A set of gates is functionally complete only if it can produce complementation. AND and OR alone can never invert a signal, so functions involving a complement cannot be built. Each of the other three sets can invert: NOT is given outright, XOR inverts when one input is held at 1, and NAND is universal by itself.
