B. 4V

The potential transformer in this circuit has a winding ratio of 4:1, meaning the potential (voltage) is reduced to 1/4 its original voltage.

Since 5 is 4x less than 20
What will be 4x less than 16

obviously B)  4 volts is the answer

B. 4V

Input 20V gives output of 5V
Therefore, Input of 16V gives an output of 4V

4 volts,the circuit load is 3/4 of the input voltage,so the answer is 16 divided by 4.

If the circuit is linear the relationship between the input and output will remain the same.  If a 20V input cause an output of 5 V then 16 V input will produce a 4V output.
