Correct answer: B

  1. We examine each statement one by one.

  2. Statement A: "The junction area of solar cell is made very narrow compared to a photo diode."

    • A solar cell is designed to receive maximum sunlight, so its junction area is made large, not narrow.
    • A photodiode usually has a smaller junction area compared to a solar cell.

    Therefore, A is false.

  3. Statement B: "Solar cells are not connected with any external bias."

    • A solar cell works in photovoltaic mode, where it generates emf due to incident light.
    • It is generally operated without external bias.

    Therefore, B is true.

  4. Statement C: "LED is made of lightly doped p-n junction."

    • LEDs are generally made from heavily doped semiconductor junctions to allow efficient recombination and light emission.

    Therefore, C is false.

  5. Statement D: "Increase of forward current results in continuous increase of LED light intensity."

    • In an LED, light intensity increases with forward current only within the safe operating range.
    • The word continuous makes the statement incorrect in general, because beyond a limit heating and damage occur; it is not an unrestricted continuous increase.

    Therefore, D is false in the intended exam sense.

  6. Statement E: "LEDs have to be connected in forward bias for emission of light."

    • LED emits light when operated in forward bias due to electron-hole recombination.

    Therefore, E is true.

  7. Hence the true statements are:

    B,EB, EB,E

  8. Matching with the given options:

    • Option A: A,C,EA, C, EA,C,E only  incorrect
    • Option B: B,EB, EB,E only  correct
    • Option C: A,CA, CA,C only  incorrect
    • Option D: B,D,EB, D, EB,D,E only  incorrect

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
