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

The frequency of the output voltage is equal to the frequency of the applied ac signal since there is one pulse out for each cycle of the ac input (60 Hz). Therefore output dc pulsating voltage contains 60pps (pulse per sec).

Frequency remains same for input and output so answer is 60pps.
