Assertion (A): Assertion: A Darlington pair has a lower input current requirement than a single transistor.

Reason (R): Reason: Its two base-emitter junctions are in series.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both statements are true but the second does not explain the first: the low input current follows from the multiplied current gain, while the series junctions explain the higher input voltage requirement - a different consequence entirely. Two true statements about one device need not stand in a causal relation, and separating the two effects of cascading is exactly what this item tests.
