Figure 1
D1 and D4 diodes are reverse biased. ∴ They act as open switches. Only D2 and D4 are forward
biased, and they act as closed switches. ∴ The circuit can be redrawn as shown in the below
Figure 2.

The current 𝐼 is flowing through the path shown path above.
By applying Kirchoff’s Voltage Law around the loop ABCDEFA,

20 𝑉 − 0.7 𝑉 − 0.7 𝑉 = (100000Ω + 10 Ω + 10 Ω) × 𝐼

∴ 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉𝑖𝑛
For the positive half cycle, first we need to find the voltage at node A.
By using potential divider method,

Voltage across 100 Ω resistor = ( 100 Ω ) × 12 𝑉

Voltage at node 𝐴 = 12 𝑉 − 3.75 𝑉
= 8.25 𝑉
When the voltage at node B = 8.25 𝑉 + 0.7 𝑉 = 8.95 𝑉,
the diode enters its forward biased mode and act as a closed switch as shown in the Figure 10.
