Calculation:
Assuming the diodes are in forward bias and in active mode.
Applying Kirchhoff’s current law at output node:
From above calculation diodes D1,D2 are in forward bias active mode but the diode D3 is in cut off mode because the voltage difference between positive and negative terminal is less than 0.7 V. The current through diode D3 is zero.
Hence, the assumption is incorrect.
