If you wanted a career as an electronics technician at the end of World War II, the world was your oyster - so to speak. Electronics and communications trade magazines and publications like Mechanix Illustrated and Popular Science ran a plethora of ads monthly that offered unlimited opportunity to men seeking a career servicing the burgeoning market of postwar technological marvels. Even though the enclosures were not yet being marked with "No user serviceable parts inside," that fact was most people were not qualified - nor did they want - to monkey with the guts of radios, televisions, and other household appliances provided ample favorable circumstance to the ambitious wannabe technician. Of course the field extended well beyond domestic products to military and commercial venues. Regardless of a person's interests, financial security, prestige, and a lifetime of satisfaction were a sure thing after successful completion of one of these training courses - whether in a classroom or at home with a mail order plan. Believe it or not, there is still plenty of opportunity today for electronics technicians who want to service household appliances if they are willing to do business via Internet clientele; YouTube is full of guys hacking their services for repairing vintage equipment as well as modern equipment like cellphones and out-of-warranty audio/visual gear. BTW, the answer given for Q2 is more correctly 21.4 Vpk-pk since when the reverse biased Zener is conducting at 10, the forward biased Zener would be at around 0.7 V, so the total would be 2 * (10 + 0.7) V = 21.4 Vpk-pk.
