Options:
  • A The base current will be 1 mA
  • B The base current will be -1 mA
  • C The emitter current will be 9 mA
  • D The emitter current will be 15 mA

The correct answer is: The base current will be 1 mA
As IC=90% of IE (according to questions)

    10 mA=90100IE

Or     IE=10×10911 mA

IB=IE-IC=11 mA-10 mA=1 mA
