Assuming that the diodes are ideal in figure, the current in diode D₁ is—

1. 8 mA
2. 5 mA
3. 0 mA
4. – 3 mA

Correct Option: C

The given circuit
From the given circuit, we conclude that diode D₂ remains ‘ON’. Now, if we assume diode D₁ is ‘ON’ then the above circuit can be modified as
It makes the voltage between terminal A & B equals to OV., which is not possible because it violates the Kirchoff’s law. Therefore the current in diode D₁ is OmA.
Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice.
