peak value = r.m.s value * root2

That means peak value is equivalent to average value.
RMS value = avg.value/root2.
RMS value = avg.value/root2.

Vrms = 230 V.
Vp = Vrms*1.414.
= 230*1.414 = 325.22.
Hence option C.
Vp = Vrms*1.414.
= 230*1.414 = 325.22.
Hence option C.

How 1.414?

Peak value is 1.414 times the RMS voltage. On a 240 volt circuit the peak voltage is 240 x 1.414 = 339.36 volts.
The peak to peak value is twice this.
The peak to peak value is twice this.

How come 1.414? Please explain.

@Tushar.
√2=1.414.
√2=1.414.

We know that Vp = Vrms/0.707.
We get Vp = 230/0.707 = 324.31.
We get Vp = 230/0.707 = 324.31.
