The correct answer is: $20.8$
In a transformer, the ratio of turns in the windings is given by
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{S}}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{S}}} \\
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{S}}}=\frac{5 \mathrm{kV}}{240 \mathrm{~V}}=\frac{5000 \mathrm{~V}}{240 \mathrm{~V}}=20.8
\end{aligned}$
