C. ROF = 7.1mΩ , fF  = 53005hz and AF = -16.95
D. ROF = 1.9mΩ , fF = 53005hz and AF = -10

Answer: C

The output resistance of the amplifier

ROF = Ro/(1+AB. = , where B = R1+RF  = 330Ω/330Ω+6.2kΩ = 0.053.

= > ROF = ±75/(1+200000*0.053) = 53005hz.

Closed loop voltage gain

AF = -(A*K)/(1+AB

Where k = RF/(R1+F)

= 6.2kΩ/(330Ω+6.2kΩ) = 0.949

= > AF  = -(200000*0.949)/[1+(200000*0.0535)] = -16.95.
