Q.A transistor having $\alpha=0.99$ and $V_{BE}=0.7$ V is given in the circuit, biased from a +12 V supply through a network of one 10 k$\Omega$ and three 1 k$\Omega$ resistors. The exact placement of these four resistors in the source circuit diagram could not be verbatim-transcribed with confidence -- held rather than guessed. Find the value of the collector current.
