Current through one LED in series with 1.2 kΩ:

1.2 kΩ is a standard value in the E12, E24 series, so it comes in almost every resistor kit.

Same first two colors, different multiplier:

What are the colors of a 1.2 kΩ resistor?

On a 4-band resistor: brown, red, red, gold. On a 5-band resistor: brown, red, black, brown, brown.

What is the SMD code for 1.2 kΩ?

122 on 3-digit resistors and 1201 on 4-digit (1%) resistors.

How much current flows through a 1.2 kΩ resistor at 5 V?

4.17 mA, dissipating 20.8 mW. A 1/8 W resistor is enough.

Which resistors get mixed up with 1.2 kΩ?

brown, red, brown, gold is 120 Ω and brown, red, orange, gold is 12 kΩ: only the third band changes, so check it carefully.
