Detailed Solution

(i) VA=-10V  and  VB=-5V

Diodes D1  and D3 are reverse biased and diode D2 is forward biased .

Question Image

RAB=R4+R+R4=32R

(ii) When VA=-5V  and  VB=-10 V Diode D2 is reverse biased and diodes D1  and D3 are forward biased.

Question Image

R4+R2+R4=R=R

(iii) in this case, equivalent resistance between A and B is also R.

Hence (ii) = (iii) < (i).
