Input power = 120*3*0.001 = 36.
Output current = v/r = 18/10 = 1.8.
Output power = 18*1.8 = 32.4.
n% = O/P power / I/P power = (32.4/36)*100.
= 0.90*100.
= 90%.
Thank you.

Should it be that both voltage and current in the primary must be in rms? what if they were in average value? or what if the other one is rms and the other one is average?

Input watt 120*.3(V*I) = 36.
Output watt :
So I = V/R(18/10) = 1.8.
18*1.8 = 32.4 watt.
Eff = output/input.
32.4/36 = 0.90.
So the answer is B.

Formula for P out:
We know that p=v.i --->1
and i=v/r --->2
sub 2 in 1
So p=v*(v/r)
Hence (v^2)/r

Pin = 120*0.3=36W.
Pout = 18*18/10=32.4.
efficiency = Pin/Pout.
= (32.4/36)*100.
= 90%.
Pout = 18*18/10=32.4.
efficiency = Pin/Pout.
= (32.4/36)*100.
= 90%.

pin= v*i = 120*.3 = 36
pout = v^2/R = 18^2/10 = 32.4
eff = pout/pin = 32.4/36 = .9*100 = 90%
pout = v^2/R = 18^2/10 = 32.4
eff = pout/pin = 32.4/36 = .9*100 = 90%

Pin = v.i = 120*0.3 = 36.
Pout = v*(v%r) = 18*(18/10) = 32.4.
n% = op/inp = 32.4/36 = 90%.
Pout = v*(v%r) = 18*(18/10) = 32.4.
n% = op/inp = 32.4/36 = 90%.
