An unknown transistor needs to be identified as a $npn$ or $pnp$ type. A multimeter, with $+ve$ and $−ve$ terminals, is used to measure resistance between different terminals of transistor. If terminal 2 is the base of the transistor then which of the following is correct for a $pnp$ transistor ?

Question

$\begin{array}{1 1}(1)\text{+ve terminal 1, −ve terminal 2, resistance high} \\ (2) \text{+ve terminal 2, −ve terminal 1, resistance high} \\ (3) \text{+ve terminal 3, −ve terminal 2, resistance high} \\ (4) \text{ +ve terminal 2, −ve terminal 3, resistance low}\end{array}$
