Right option is (b) 1.25
Best explanation: The voltage gain for a degenerated CS stage is \(\frac{-Rd}{(\frac{1}{gm} + Rs)}\). Hence, after putting the values, we get 5/4 and hence the answer becomes 1.25. Rd is the total resistance connected to the drain of the M1 while Rs is the total resistance connected to the source of the M1.
