@Rohinthh.
If the transformer ratio is given as 3:1 then it is n1:n2,
If the transformer Ratio is 3 or any other no. given as single digit then we have to consider n2:n1.
I think you're clear with my suggestion, have a wonderful day.

How to decide that whether the turns ratio given is N2/N1 or N1/N2?
I thought N2/N1 = 3/1.
SO N2/N1 = E2/E1 = 3/1.
Hence E2 = 3*60 = 180V.
Please explain?

k=n2/n1.
n2=1.
n1=3.
Then v2/v1=n2/n1.
v2/60=1/3.
3v2=60.
v2=60/3.
v2=20.
n2=1.
n1=3.
Then v2/v1=n2/n1.
v2/60=1/3.
3v2=60.
v2=60/3.
v2=20.

Here,
Turn ratio = 3:1 means
n1 = 3, n2 = 1,
v1 = 60
Turn ratio = k = 3:1 = n1/n2 = v1/v2
so, v1 is 3 times higher than v2
v1 is 60 then v2 must be 20 = 60/3.

v1 is 60 then v2 must be 20 = 60/3.

v1=60v
n2/n1=v2/v1
1/3=v2/60
.3333=v2/60
v2=.3333*60
v2=19.999
n2/n1=v2/v1
1/3=v2/60
.3333=v2/60
v2=.3333*60
v2=19.999

Doubt:
v1=60v
n2/n1=3/1 ?
Can you please explain?
v1=60v
n2/n1=3/1 ?
Can you please explain?
