The diode is silicon or germanium is not mentioned in the question so how can you guess if it is germanium (Ge) cutoff voltage 0.3? then answer is 11.7v.

The diode cutoff voltage is 0.7 volts for silicon.
So the remaining voltage of input will be obtained at the output i.e., 12-0.7 = 11.3V.
So the remaining voltage of input will be obtained at the output i.e., 12-0.7 = 11.3V.

SI cut off voltage is 0.7.
Load voltage is 12.
So, the voltage across 1ohm resistor is VR=vl-vsi=12-0.7 = 11.3.
