Vg= R2Vdd/R1+R2.
Vg=1.8V,

Vgs= Vg-IdRs.
Vgs= 1.8- Idss(1-Vgs/Vp)^2 (Rs),
Vgs = - 1.8V.

Then get Id using eqn Vgs=Vg-IdRs,
which I s equal to 2.4mA.

Vds= Vdd-Id (Rd+Rs),
0=16-2.4mA (Rd +1.5k).
Rd= 5.167 k ohms.

@Katekyo.

VGS is not equal to VG in voltage divider circuit id ID is not equal to zero.

Vgs = 1.82V (Voltage Divider)
Vgs = Vg - Vs = Vg - Id*Rs.

Substituting it in Shockley's Equation I get the quadratic equation as follows:-
1.41*10^5 Id^2 - 1220 Id + 2.13 = 0.
Id = 2.43mA, 6.23mA (which to choose as both are below Idss).
Also using 2.43mA I get Rd = 5.08k.
whereas using 6.23mA I get Rd = 1.07k.
None of the answers match.

I don't get it. My answer is 5.251k.

vgs=16*270k/(2.1M+270k) = 1.823V.
Then solving for Id = 8mA * (1-(-1.823/-4))^2 = 2.37mA.
Then KVL with Rd unknown,
16V-2.37mA * Rd-1.5k*2.37mA = 0.
Rd = 5.251k.

Where did I messed up?
