Purposefully, the numerical values of Z01 and Z02 are not given and
unknown. The answer to the problem would be the same if Z01=50 and
Z02=150, or if Z01=100 and Z02=300, or an infinite number of other
combinations. Please tell me how you can calculate an absolute voltage
when Z0 is an unknown variable?

the same way you calculate the power to be zero watts. no need to
know the z0 if the voltage is zero.
