Question
Assertion : In a common emitter transistor amplifier the input current is much less than the output current.
Reason : The common emitter transistor amplifier has very high input impedance.

Answer

(c) In common emitter transistor amplifier current gain $\beta>1$, so output current > lnput current, hence assertion is correct.Also, input circuit has low resistance due to forward biasing to emitter base junction, hence reason is false.
