What is the meaning of 'trouble if any' in the question?

It is absolutely sure that ideal condition is absolutely different from the practical condition so we have to understand on the practical basis.

That moment diode is conducting. That means current flowing through the diode so resistance is Zero of that time.

Diode measures the low resistance means, diode should be in forward bias.

How the meter show 2 different values for measuring a single resistance?

Vishnu said:   1 decade ago
As the diode conducts it shows no resistance.

What is the meaning of trouble if any ? please explain.

Low Resistance in both directions. Normally in forward biased diode shows low resistance and in reverse bias shows high resistance.

The diode is short circuited, it shows zero resistance.

Where it is mentioned that the diode is forward biased?
