If the zener is opened, we have only R1 and R2 resister are in series.Therefore now we have a battery of 24V , R1 , R2 are all in series.
Apply voltage divider rule and find the voltage across the R2.It will come nearly 4.8v by doing calculation
i.e ., Voltage at R2=Vcc*R2/(R1+R2)
=24*2.5*10^3/(10K+2.5K)
=4.8v
This 4.8v is nearly indicated as 4.790 in the voltmeter shown in the diagram across the 2.5kohm resistor.
This is possible only if the zener is made as open.
simple:-)
