The voltages at V₁ and V₂ of the arrangement shown in the figure will be respectively—

1. 6 V and 5.4 V
2. 5.4 V and 6 V
3. 3 V and 5.4 V
4. 6 V and 3 V

Correct Option: A

Since for the diode D₂ cathode is at higher potential than anode. Hence diode D₂ will not conduct, i.e. no current in upper RΩ resistance so V₁ = 6 V.
But anode of diode D₁ is at higher potential than cathode so the diode D₁ will conduct.

V₂ = 6 – V_T = 6 – .6 = 5.4 V (V_T = cut-in voltage of diode)
Hence alternative (A) is the correct answer.
