Options:
  • A $8 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • B $4 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • C $12 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • D $6 \mathrm{k} \Omega$

The correct answer is: $6 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
$$
\beta=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\frac{5}{0.2}=25
$$
Voltage gain, $A_v=\beta \frac{R_L}{R_i}$
$$
\therefore \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\beta}=\frac{75 \times 2}{25}=6 \mathrm{k} \Omega
$$
