Solution:

In positive half cycle one diode is in forward biasing and other is in reverse biasing while in negative half cycle their polarity reverse, and direction of current is opposite through for positive and negative half cycles so cut put is not rectified.
Since and are different hence the peak during positive half and negative half of the input signal
