The correct answer is: 1250
AC power gain = Change in output powerChange in input power

= Vc×icVi×ib=VcVi×icib=AV×βAC

where AV is voltage gain and βAC is AC current gain.

Also,

AV=βAC×resistance gain =RoRi

Given, AV=50, Ro=200 Ω, Ri=100 Ω

Hence, 50 = βAC×200100

βAC=25

Now, AC power gain = AV×βAC = 50 × 25 = 1250
