Assume that each diode as shown in the figure has a forward bias resistance of 50Ω and an infinite reverse bias resistance. The current through the resistance 150Ω is:
A
0.66A
B
0.05A
C

Correct option is D)
The circuit is as shown as image 1. As the lower diode attached to 100Ω resistance is in reversed biased so, it is non-conducting. Now, the circuit can be redrawn as image 2. ∴ Current through the circuit, I=RV=25010=0.04A
