What are the states of the three ideal diodes of the circuit shown in figure?

1. D₁ ON, D₂ OFF, D₃ OFF
2. D₁ OFF, D₂ ON, D₃ OFF
3. D₁ ON, D₂ OFF, D₃ ON
4. D₁ OFF, D₂ ON, D₃ ON

Correct Option: A

The given circuit (i.e., fig-1)
From given figure are conclude that both D₁ and D₂ are in forward bias and D₃ is in reverse bias. But no current will flow through the diode D₂. This is so because current gets shorted path through D₁, as shown below (i.e., fig-2)
Hence,
D₁ → ON
D₂ → OFF
D₃ → OFF
