can explain me plz how the circuit and and gate works as in the above diagram
 

For diodes to conduct, the voltage at positive terminal should be greater than voltage at negative terminal by threshold voltage of diode.
So diode conducts only when you make terminal A/B to be low (logic 0) as DA/DB are at higher potential. When this happens,diode acts as short circuit and output is 0
When a high voltage is given at A/B, respective diode are reverse biased and diode acts as open circuit, so output will be high.
This is a AND logic gate
