Yes 0.6 is the right answer because we must follow the transformation rule. That is n1/n2=v1/v2=i2/i1=k.

Than 240 is wrong answer.

On my research:

Turn Ratio = Vpri/Vsec = Npri/Nsec.

Transformation Ratio = Vsec/Vpri.

Please verify the formula.

Turn ratio = T1/T2, this is always put in order input : output, which is primary : secondary.

And T1/T2 = V1/V2 = 20.

Or, 12/V2 = 20.

Hence V2 = 12/20 = 0.6 volt.

Given that N2/N1 = 20.

V1 = 12.
V2/V1 = N2/N1 = 20.

So V2 = 20*V1.
= 20*12.
= 240.

v1/v2 =1/k.
12/v2 = 1/20.
v2 = 240v.

0.6 is the correct answers.

Because turns ration is (v1/v2) = (t1/t2) and it is given (t1/t2) = 20 and v1 = 12. So the answer v2 = (12/20).

n1/n2 = v1/v2.
20 = 12/v2.
v2 = 12/20 = 0.6 v.

Actually turn ratio of transformer is given by n1/n2.

Therefore if turn ratio is 20 then the answer is 12/20. There is some mistake in the question.

VS/VP = TS/TP.
VS = VP*20.

VS = 12*20.
VS = 120 V.

If you don't know the correct answer. Please don't explain. There is a mistake in options.

Above most of given explanation that is wrong correct answer is V1/V2 = E1/E2 = Turn ratio.

i.e 12/v2 = 20 so v2 = 12/20 = 0.6.
