How Does Current Flow in This PNP Transistor?

is this a pnp transistor? if yes, why does the current go from top to bottom?

also, does this transistor work? I mean shouldn't there be 0 current going throuth the two resistors?

i can't understand it at all

Yes, this is a PNP transistor. The current is just flowing via two resistors to the ground. The gate-emitter junction is reverse biased by voltage across R2, so the transistor will be in cut-off region.

but why does current go through the two resistors? shouldn't it just go down from the other way where there are no resistors?
