Yes, but voltage is always given as RMS unless otherwise stated, so the correct answer is not listed.
Vpk = 169.706Vrms / .707 = 240Vpk / 20 = 12Vpk - .7V = 11.3 Vpk.
Vpk = 169.706Vrms / .707 = 240Vpk / 20 = 12Vpk - .7V = 11.3 Vpk.

Vs/Vp=Ns/Np.
Vs=169.706*1/20.
Vs=8.485v.
Peak output voltage=Vs-0.7=7.78v.
Vs=169.706*1/20.
Vs=8.485v.
Peak output voltage=Vs-0.7=7.78v.

Diode is foreword biased practically no voltage drop across the diode but due to silicon or germanium diode 0.7v or 0.3v drop across the diode secondary voltage of the transformer is approximately 8.48 volts. But subtract the drop across the diode 0.7v =7.78 volts.

v2= n2/n1*v1
=1/20*169.706
so v2=8.4853 volts
so output voltage will be 8.4853-0.7
Vo=7.7853
so option 'B' is correct 7.8 volts
=1/20*169.706
so v2=8.4853 volts
so output voltage will be 8.4853-0.7
Vo=7.7853
so option 'B' is correct 7.8 volts

V2/V1 = N2/N1
V2 - voltage at secondary
V1 - voltage at primary
N2 - no of turns of secondary coil
N1 - no of turns of primary coil
V2 - voltage at secondary
V1 - voltage at primary
N2 - no of turns of secondary coil
N1 - no of turns of primary coil
