Q68. A germanium diode is operated at 20° C. A reverse bias of -1.5 V results in a current of 70 A. Assuming that the temperature remains constant; the reverse saturation current is approximately (a) 60 uA (b) 60 nA (c) 35 uA (d)-60 uA
You don't need to solve in case of reverse bias. you can directly answer in this case. unfortunately the options are not matching with the correct answer. please find attached.
look at the last third line of this attached page...

ans: I am getting ans= -70uA , may be this option is missed or current (I) given is question has to be i=60uA ,so that option D matches with the answer, here n=1 is taken for germa...
