Options:
  • A $10 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • B $20 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • C $5 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  • D $2.5 \mathrm{k} \Omega$

The correct answer is: $10 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
Here:
$\begin{aligned}& \Delta V_c=0.5 \mathrm{volt}, \\
& \Delta I_c=0.05 \mathrm{~mA}=0.05 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}$
Output resistance is given by
$\begin{aligned} R_{\text {out }} & =\frac{\Delta V_c}{\Delta I_c} \\ & =\frac{0.5}{0.05 \times 10^{-3}}=10^4 \Omega=10 \mathrm{~K} \Omega\end{aligned}$
