Formula:

I2 = Vb÷R2

Solve for Vb:
Vb = Vbe + Ve.

But;
Vbe = 0.7V.
Ve = IeRe (Where Ie=β*Ib + Ib).
Ve = (β*Ib + Ib)(Re).
Ve = 2.475V.

Thus:
Vb = 0.7V + 2.475V.
Vb = 3.175V.

Therefore:
I2 = Vb/R2 = 3.175V÷10kΩ ≈ 320µA (Ans.)

IC = IE = VE/RE.
IC = β * IB.
VB = VE+VBE.
I2 = VB/R2.

RE must be 500kiloohms because VE=IE * RE will give you: 5mA * 500ohms = 2.5mV.

Analyse the data
Given Ib=(50*10^-6)A
Calculate ic using beta value i.e ic=beta*ib=5mA
Ic=Ie therefore ve=ie*re=2.5v
vbe=vb-ve
vb=vbe+ve=0.7+2.5=3.2
Then i2=vb/r2=3.2/10000=320microamps
