\begin{aligned} & \frac{V_s}{V_p}=\frac{N_s}{N_p} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{120}{12000}=\frac{N_s}{N_p} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{1}{100}---(i) \end{aligned}

For an ideal transformer, input power = Output power
And power is given by P=i V
\begin{aligned} & i_p V_p=i_s V_s=60000 \mathrm{~W} \\ & i_p=\frac{60000}{12000}=5 \end{aligned}
Now, R_p=\frac{V_p}{i_p}=\frac{12000}{5}=2400 \Omega
R_s=\frac{V_s}{i_s}=\frac{120}{60000 / 120}=120 \times \frac{120}{60000}=\frac{120}{500}=0.240 \Omega=240 \mathrm{~m} \Omega
