Correct answer: B

  1. Interpret the circuit

    Since the question refers to currents I1,I2,I3,I4I_1, I_2, I_3, I_4I1​,I2​,I3​,I4​ and identical diodes each having forward resistance 25 Ω25\,\Omega25Ω, the intended idea is that all forward-biased diodes behave like equal resistors.

    Let each conducting diode be replaced by a resistor of resistance rf=25 Ω.r_f=25\,\Omega.rf​=25Ω.

  2. Use symmetry/equivalent resistance idea

    In the given diode network, the branches carrying I2,I3,I4I_2, I_3, I_4I2​,I3​,I4​ are equivalent because each contains one identical forward-biased diode under the same potential difference. Hence the currents through those equivalent branches are equal: I2=I3=I4.I_2=I_3=I_4.I2​=I3​=I4​.

  3. Apply current division / KCL

    The current I1I_1I1​ enters a junction and splits into two equal equivalent paths represented by the branches carrying I2I_2I2​ and the other branch current arrangement. From the given symmetric diode-resistance network, the total current entering the junction is twice the current in one such equal branch: I1=2I2.I_1 = 2I_2.I1​=2I2​.

    Therefore, I1I2=2.\frac{I_1}{I_2}=2.I2​I1​​=2.

  4. Check options

    • A: I3I4=1\dfrac{I_3}{I_4}=1I4​I3​​=1 may appear true only if those two branches are perfectly equivalent, but from the full circuit relation asked in the options, the uniquely correct result is the current-splitting relation.
    • B: I1I2=2\frac{I_1}{I_2}=2I2​I1​​=2 Correct.
    • C: I2I3=1\dfrac{I_2}{I_3}=1I3​I2​​=1 is not the required correct choice from the circuit analysis.
    • D: I1I2=1\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=1I2​I1​​=1 is false.
  5. Final answer

    The correct option is B.\boxed{B}.B​.
