concept:

In Full wave recifier, 

if v(t)= Vm sinwt

then, Idc =\( \frac {2Im} {\pi}\)

where, I\(\frac{Vm}{R_f + R_S +R_L​} \)

Rf is diode resistance

Rs is source resistance(transformer winding resistance)

RL is load resistance

calculation:

v(t)=240 sin 50 t

Vm = 240 

Rf =400

RL= 2000

I=\(\frac{240}{2000+400}\) 

=\(\frac{240}{2400}\)

=0.1

Idc = \(\frac{0.2}{\pi}\)

=0.06369

63.69mA

so correct option is 3.
