The minimum no of pins required by dual-op-amp is 8. Each op-amp has 2 input terminals(4 pins) and one output terminal(2 pins). Another 2 pins are required for power.
Similarly, The minimum no of pins required by dual-op-amp is 14: 4*2 + 4*1 + 2 = 14.

Quad Op Amp IC Package
In an IC package containing four operational amplifiers (quad op amps), each op amp requires two terminals for power supply and two terminals for input and output connections.
Minimum Number of Terminals
To calculate the minimum number of terminals required in the package, we need to consider the number of terminals required for each op amp and the total number of op amps in the package.
Number of Terminals per Op Amp
Each op amp requires:
- Two power supply terminals (V+ and V-)
- Two input/output terminals (inverting and non-inverting)
So, each op amp requires 2 + 2 = 4 terminals.
Total Number of Op Amps
The package contains four operational amplifiers (quad op amps).
Minimum Number of Terminals
To calculate the minimum number of terminals required, we need to multiply the number of terminals per op amp by the total number of op amps in the package.
Minimum number of terminals = Number of op amps × Number of terminals per op amp
Minimum number of terminals = 4 × 4 = 16
However, we need to subtract the common terminal (ground) which is shared between all the op amps.
So, the minimum number of terminals required in the package = 16 - 1 = 15.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C (14).
