From graph diagram maximum current $\mathrm{I}_{1}=1 \mathrm{~A}$ and $\mathrm{I}_{2}=-2 \mathrm{~A}$ $\therefore$ Average maximum current $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{m}}=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$\therefore \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{m}}=\sqrt{5} \mathrm{~A}$

Now, $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\sqrt{2.5}=1.58 \mathrm{~A}$

$\therefore \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{rms}} \approx 1.6 \mathrm{~A}$ is shown in below graph.
