Ic = βIB + (β+1) ICBO => Ic = βIb [Since, ICBO = 0; given].
SO, Ic = 90*20 uA = 1.8 mA.
Voltage drop across RE = IE*RE = (IC+IB)*RE = IC*RE (approx) = 1.8*2 = 3.6 V.
Now, VBB = RB*IB + VBE + voltage across RE.
6 = RB*20 uA + 0.7 + 3.6 = RB*20 uA + 4.3.
RB*20 uA = 1.7 => RB = 1.7/20 uA = 85 KOhm.
So, my result is none of the above options. Please mention if I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Yeah! I have the same doubt. Why shouldn't we consider input loop to find Rb?
I don't think the procedure to find the Rb changes, if the operating point conditions are giving?
If I am wrong, please correct me.

Hi, I'm getting an answer between 100 and 150 whatever the answer is. The given answer is wrong we should consider the emitter resistor.
Please, anyone, explain me.

The given solution is incorrect. We have to consider the drop across the emitter resistor. And we have to include it in the input loop equation.

@All.
We need only resistance at RB.
So there is no need of considering resistance across emitter.
Its just Ohm's law.
R = V/I.

ICBO = 0 implying IC = 0 => IE.
So emitter voltage was not considered.
Hence, the equation has only VBB - VRBQ - VBEQ = 0.

Hence, the equation has only VBB - VRBQ - VBEQ = 0.

Ohm law cannot be applied. We have to apply Kirchhoff's voltage law then;
RB = VBB - VBE - IERE/IB = 85 Kohm.
RB = VBB - VBE - IERE/IB = 85 Kohm.

Ibq is base current at operating point taken as 0.7, this 0.7 is the barrier potential voltage at base.

I also agree with Arnab.
Can anyone please clarify, if we are wrong somewhere.
