The Attempt at a Solution
I assume that the zener diode is on.
For this the current flowing through 1k##\Omega ~~i.e. ~~I_1## should be grater than the 3k##\Omega## i.e.##I_3##.
##I_3= 10/3~ mA
\\I_1 = 4 ~mA##
Clearly,##I_1 > I_3##. So, there is some current going through the zener diode. Hence, the zener diode is on.
Is this correct?
