The base Current is assuming currents into the transistor
\[ I_B = \frac{-9V + 0.7V}{30000 Ohm} \\
I_B = -0.27mA \\
\]
I am assuming the transistor in saturation from IB = -0.27 mA the collector current as per curves is -37mA and i assume this is the maximum value of the collector current.
\[
Ic = (-9V + 0.2V )/ 1000 Ohm = -8.8mA \\
V_{BE} = -0.7V; \\
V_{CE} = -0.2V; \\
V_{BC} = V_{BE} - V_{CE} = -0.7V + 0.2V = -0.5V \\
V_{CB} = 0.5V
\]
For pnp transistor a positive value of V_CB means it is forward biased. Hence it is in saturation.
Little bit of struggle for pnp transistor with sign convention and hopefully it is correct and (i assume i cannot verify my answer).
Few questions i have is the VCE value is it possible to take even a lesser value?
And for example, if it is -0.1V of VCE it does not intersect the IB current and hence the value of VCE of -0.1V is not valid, am i correct and what does it mean if it is not intersecting?
