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.

Why we not consider loop for i/p side?

What about Re?
