Imax=Irms/1.414
Imax=1.57*Iav
Imax=1.57*12=18.84
Irms=18.84/1.414
Irms=13.33V
Imax=1.57*Iav
Imax=1.57*12=18.84
Irms=18.84/1.414
Irms=13.33V

RMS value = V(peak value)*.707
V(average value)= Vpk*.637
Therefore, RMS valu =Vav*(.707/.637)
Vrms = 12*1.11 = 13.31= 13.33.
V(average value)= Vpk*.637
Therefore, RMS valu =Vav*(.707/.637)
Vrms = 12*1.11 = 13.31= 13.33.

Why we are not directly taken formula for half wave rectifier.
Form factor= (rms/avg).
Form factor= (rms/avg).

Avg.value = 0.636*Max.value.
Max.value = 12/0.636 = 18.86.
but,
RMS value = Max.value/1.414.
RMS value = 18.86/1.414=13.34.
So, the option is [A].
Max.value = 12/0.636 = 18.86.
but,
RMS value = Max.value/1.414.
RMS value = 18.86/1.414=13.34.
So, the option is [A].

You all are applying formula for full cycle, but in question we asked to find rms for half cycle. If we apply formula for the half cycle answer may be wrong.

Can same formula work for rms and half cycle.

Form factor Kf = (rms value/half cycle average value).
Kf for sine wave 1.11.
rms value = 1.11X12= 13.33.
Kf for sine wave 1.11.
rms value = 1.11X12= 13.33.

Vpick = pai* Vavrag/2.
Vpick = 3.14*12/2.
= 18.84.
Vrms = Vpick/1.414.
= 18.84/1.414.
= 13.33 V.
Vpick = 3.14*12/2.
= 18.84.
Vrms = Vpick/1.414.
= 18.84/1.414.
= 13.33 V.

This is wrong. If you use full wave formula:
Valve = 2Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = 2Vpeak/3.14160 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 18.8496 (full wave).
For full wave Vrms:
Vrms = Vpeak/sqrt 2 = 18.8496/sqrt 2 = 13.13 (Vrms for full wave).
The correct formula for half wave is:
Valve = Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = Vpeak/3.1416 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 37.6992.
For Vrms half wave its:
Vrms = Vpeak/2 => 37.6992/2 = 18.84.
Valve = 2Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = 2Vpeak/3.14160 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 18.8496 (full wave).
For full wave Vrms:
Vrms = Vpeak/sqrt 2 = 18.8496/sqrt 2 = 13.13 (Vrms for full wave).
The correct formula for half wave is:
Valve = Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = Vpeak/3.1416 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 37.6992.
For Vrms half wave its:
Vrms = Vpeak/2 => 37.6992/2 = 18.84.

For half cycle.
Effective voltage or RMS = 1.11*V average.
= 1.11*12 = 13.32 v.
Effective voltage or RMS = 1.11*V average.
= 1.11*12 = 13.32 v.
