Solution

The correct option is B $25, \infty$
For $V_{A} > V_{B}$
Both diodes are forward biased
so equivalent resistance will be the parallel connection of the resistances.
$R_{e q} = \frac{R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1} + R_{2}}$

Substitute the values:
$R_{1} = \frac{50 \times 50}{50 + 50} = 25 Ω$

If $V_{A} < V_{B}$

Both of the diodes are reverse biased and they will not let the circuit to be closed.
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the equivalent circuit will be infinity
