Explanation

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 16th March Morning Shift Physics - Semiconductor Question 117 English Explanation
$$i = {7 \over {35}} = {1 \over 5}A$$

$${i_1} = {{15} \over {90}} = {1 \over 6}A$$

$${i_2} = i - {i_1}$$

$${i_2} = {1 \over 5} - {1 \over 6}$$

$${i_2} = {1 \over {30}}A$$

Power across diode; P = V2 i2

$$P = 15 \times {1 \over {30}}$$

P = 0.5 W

$$ \therefore $$ P = 5 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$1 W
