In the circuit shown in the figure, the input voltage $V_i$ is 20 V, $V_{BE}$ = 0 and $V_{CE}$ = 0. The value of $I_B, \; I_C$ and $\beta$ are given by <br>

Question

( A ) $I_B = 20 \; \mu A, \; I_C = 5 \; mA, \; \beta = 250$
( B ) $I_B = 40 \; \mu A, \; I_C = 5 \; mA, \; \beta = 125$
( C ) $I_B = 40 \; \mu A, \; I_C = 10 \; mA, \; \beta = 250$
( D ) $I_B = 25 \; \mu A, \; I_C = 5 \; mA, \; \beta = 200$
