Solution:

image
As per diagram,
Diode $D_{1} \,\&\, D_{2}$ are in forward bias i.e. $R=30 \,\Omega$
whereas diode $D_{3}$ is in reverse bias i.e. $R=$ infinite
$\Rightarrow $ Equivalent circuit will be
Applying KVL starting from point $A$

$-\left(\frac{ I _{1}}{2}\right) \times 30-\left(\frac{ I _{1}}{2}\right) \times 130- I _{1} \times 20+200=0$
$\Rightarrow -100 I _{1}+200=0$
$I _{1}=2$
