Vpeak across the resistor is 11.3V.
Vrms is 7.78V, since it says Vpeak, therefore the answer is not listed.

I agree with @Ralph. It is not indicated that it is vdc. You will always assume the source to be in RMS.

Thanks everyone for explaining.

@All.
If you draw the output waveform of the HW- RECTIFIER given an input of 8.485 V(since you don't really use the peak voltage value as an input but rather the rms value) the output WAVEFORM would have a peak of (8.485-0.7) = 7.8 V,
So, B would be correct.

Right @Ralph.
RMS to v peak should v conversion.
RMS to v peak should v conversion.

V(sec)=n*V(pri).
V(sec)=1/20*169.706 ,
V (sec)=8.4853.
V(out)= V(sec) - 0.7.
=7.8v.
V(sec)=1/20*169.706 ,
V (sec)=8.4853.
V(out)= V(sec) - 0.7.
=7.8v.

1n 4001 diode is from silicon families. So it's a silicon diode.

But they will not mention it's diode silicon or germanium, we should calculate as a ideal.

From wahab, comment from previous question.
Vs/Vp = Ns/Np,
Vs = 169.706*1/20.
Vs = 8.485v.
Peak output voltage = Vs-0.7 = 7.78v.
Vs/Vp = Ns/Np,
Vs = 169.706*1/20.
Vs = 8.485v.
Peak output voltage = Vs-0.7 = 7.78v.
