The correct answer is: 1.5 A

In the given circuit, diode D1 is reverse biased, so it will not conduct but D2,D3 are forward biased, so they will conduct, hence corresponding equivalent circuit. For the given circuit is

Now, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is

Req=515×205+5+20+203 Ω

Current through battery, I=10 V203 Ω=1.5 A
