Electronic – when V>0, what happens in ideal diode

diodes

enter image description here

All diodes are ideal and the answer V is +3V in problem (e).
So my question is why we can't let all diodes to be forward-biased. What happens when V is +1V?
Is it because the current flows to infinity in ideal diode? Or is there any reason?
And what happens to ideal diode when Voltage is larger than 0?

In this highly simplified diode model, the diode acts as either an open circuit (when reverse biased) or a short circuit (when forward biased).

In your example, if all diodes were forward biased, then the output voltage would have to be 1 V, 2 V, and 3 V at the same time. This is a logical contradiction.

But it’s easy to resolve, because if the output is 3 V, then the 2nd and 3rd diodes are reverse biased, and the contradiction is eliminated.
