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

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

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

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

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

@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.
