The correct answer is:
$\frac{2}{3} A_v$
$\begin{aligned} & \text A_v=\beta \frac{R_{\text {out }}}{R_{\text {in }}}=25 \frac{R_{\text {out }}}{R_{\text {in }}} \\ & \because \quad G_m=\frac{\beta}{R_{\text {in }}} \Rightarrow R_{\text {in }}=\frac{\beta}{G_m}=\frac{25}{0.03} \\ & \therefore \quad A_v=25 \frac{R_{\text {out }}}{25} \times 0.03 \\ & \text { Now, } A_v^{\prime}=20 \frac{R_{\text {out }}}{20} \times 0.02 \\ & A_v^{\prime}=\frac{2}{3} A_v\end{aligned}$
