Vcc = IcRc+ vce.
Ic = (vcc-vce)/RC.
Voltage drop for vce at saturation is 0.2
Ic = 2.085mA.

Ib=Ic/B= 10.425 * 10^-6A.
Now,
Vin=IbRb+Vbe.
The Voltage drop for vbe at saturation is 0.7.
Vin = 10.425x10^-6 * 1.2 * 10^6 + 0.7.
Vin = 12.325V.

Thus, the given option is correct or incorrect?

For saturation Vce = 0.2.

And we know Vce = Vcc-IcRc => Ic(sat) = 2.085mA.

Now Ib = Ic/beta => Ib = 10.425 microA.

But Ib=(Vin-Vbe)/Rb => Ib = (Vin-0.7)/1.2 Mohms.

Solve the above two you'll get Ib =13.21.

Consider, Vce=0.2V and Vbe=0.7V
Ic=(Vcc-Vce)/Rc
Ib=Ic/Bdc

Now,
Using KVL,
Vin=IbRb+Vbe=13.21V
