The correct answer is: $82$
$\begin{aligned} & \Delta I_c=8.2 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \qquad \Delta I_c=8.3 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \text { Base current } \Delta I_b=\Delta I_c-\Delta I_c=8.3-8.2=0.1 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \therefore \text { Forward current ratio }=\frac{\Delta I_c}{\Delta I_b}=\frac{8.2}{0.1}=82\end{aligned}$
