Assume both diodes to be ON. If the current in both diodes is positive, then the diodes are in forward biased condition.
In forward-biased conditions, the diode is replaced by its cut in voltage i.e. 0.7 V.
Calculation
-15 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 5(ID1) = 0
ID1 = 2.72 mA
-15 + 0.7 + 10(I1) + 5(ID1) = 0
I1 = 0.953 mA
ID2 = ID1 - I1
ID2 = 2.72 - 0.953
ID2 = 1.76 mA
Both the currents have positive values. Hence, our assumption is TRUE.
So, ID1 = 2.72 mA
