Two Zener diodes (A and B) having breakdown voltages of 6 V and 4 V respectively, are connected as shown in the circuit below. The output voltage V? variation with input voltage linearly increasing with time, is given by: (V_input = 0 V at t = 0) (figures are qualitative)

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Till input voltage reaches 4 V. No zener is in breakdown region. So V? = V? then now hen V? changes between 4 V to 6 V one zener with 4 V will breakdown are P.D. across this zener will become constant and remaining potential will drop acro resistance in series with 4 V zener.
Now current in circuit increases Abruptly and source must have an internal resistance due to which. Some potential will get drop across the source also so correct graph between V? and t will be
We have to assume some resistance in series with source.
