Solution

The correct option is B 25,
For VA>VB
Both diodes are forward biased
so equivalent resistance will be the parallel connection of the resistances.
Req=R1R2R1+R2

Substitute the values:
R1=50×5050+50=25Ω


If VA<VB

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
