to set its operating point
Collector-to-Emitter resistance is high when the transistor is biased off.
The saying "at what current is transistor biased" means to ask the current through the transistor when there is no signal present. Typically, a transistor is biased at the center of its linear region, so as to minimize distortion. This, of course, depends on whether or not the transistor is AC or DC coupled, and where the clipping points might be.
a transistor in active region when emitter junction is forward biased nd collector junction is reverse biased
To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.
For a transistor to be in active region : Base Emitter junction should be forward biased and Emitter collector junction should be reverse biased.

in a properly biased transistor, collector and emitter current also decrease

Emitter-Base junction should be forward biased.Collector-Base junction should be reverse biased.
