Assertion (A): Assertion: Adding stages always increases an amplifier's bandwidth.

Reason (R): Reason: Each stage taken alone has a wide bandwidth at low gain.

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.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

The reason is true but the assertion is false: each stage may be wide, but their roll-offs compound and the combined 3 dB point falls below any single stage's. What extra stages buy is gain, at the price of bandwidth rather than in addition to it. A statement containing always is worth testing against the compounding effect, which is exactly the consideration this pair separates.
