$\frac{V R_{1} R_{2}}{\sqrt{R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2}}}$ at t = 0 and $\frac{V}{R_{2}}$ at t = $\infty$

$\frac{V}{R_{2}}$ at t = 0 and $\frac{V R_{1} R_{2}}{\sqrt{R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2}}}$ at t = $\infty$

$\frac{V}{R_{2}}$ at t = 0 and $\frac{V (R_{1} + R_{2})}{R_{1} R_{2}}$ at t = $\infty$

$\frac{V (R_{1} + R_{2})}{R_{1} R_{2}}$ at t = 0 and $\frac{V}{R_{2}}$ at t = $\infty$

answer is B.

Detailed Solution

At t = 0 , inductor behaves like an infinite resistance so at t = 0, $i = \frac{V}{R_{2}}$

and at t = $\infty$ , inductor behaves like a conducting wire $i = \frac{V}{R_{e q}} = \frac{V (R_{1} + R_{2})}{R_{1} R_{2}}$
