NAND gate becomes AND gate when used with negative logic. 
 
NAND gate turth table(with -ve logic) 
0 0 0 
0 1 0 
1 0 0 
1 1 1 -> this is truth table of AND gate

When used with negative logic means that the inputs are inverted.

If the inputs of a nand gate are inverted and given, the output will be an OR of the inputs. De morgans law (A'.B')' = A + B

ANS is nor gate

negative logic means a high is interpreted as low and vice-versa

The NAND gate becomes a "OR" gate because
(a'.b')' = ((a+b)')' = a+b (by De-Morgan's)

it is NOR gate. Lets analyse how.

In positive logic 0s are considered low and 1s as high voltages. In negative logic 0s are high and 1s are low. Now the truth table for Nand is

A B Y         A(V) B(V) Y(V)-> positive logic

0 0 1         low    low   high

0 1 1         low   high   high

1 0 1         high   low   high

1 1 0         high   high  low

Now when used as negative logic then the truth table will be

A B Y

1 1 0

1 0 0

0 1 0

0 0 1

hence it is NOR gate.

First of all, a NAND gate is not (a'.b'), it is (a.b)' -- that is, (a'+b'). When you negate this, you get (a'+b')' which you can then de-morgan to get (a.b). So a NAND gate become AND

ya sudhansu has explained it correctly...
actually from de-morgan's

Yes i think it becomes nor gate because using a negative logic doesn't mean doing any mathematically. it means just suposing zero to be one and viceversa

It becomes a NOR gate

L L H
L H H
H L H
H H L


Now assume
H=1 and L=0 we get NAND
H=0 and L=1 we get NOR


Similarly for AND gate we get OR gate
