Where can I find problems similar to this one? Is there any textbook I can look up?

Numerous textbooks have exercises like this (probably where it gives a chapter or two about boost converters). Just maybe the author built (or simulated) the identical boost converter and then posed those questions for a student to figure out. It assumes familiarity with formulas for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance.

After you've built a few real-life designs you can expect to get an idea what value inductor and capacitor go with this or that level of throughput of volts and Amperes.

As for myself, I didn't rely on math to learn about switching power supplies. I watched an animated interactive simulator (Falstad's) as I tapped a switch repeatedly sending power into a converter, while watching how the waveforms changed shape. I built crude low-power switching supplies on breadboard. That's how I learned we must always keep a load attached to a boost converter.:)
 
So its telling you that Vin is from 10.5V to 15.77V.
for (b) its mostly Ohms Law
for (c) its Lenzs Law
for (d) calc the dv for the C and for the esr bit, then do sqrt(sum of squares of those)
for(e) its i^2R + switching loss..

Switching loss full detail is in Laszlo Balogh's High speed mosfet drive document.

At turnon, firstly the induc currnt is instantaneously at its pedestal level....this full current then goes through the fet for a short interval, when
the fet vds = vout+vd.......so consider ifet for this interval is a triangle with peak = ipedestal.
Then the miller plateau occurs and the fet vds falls from vout to 0v.....and the i(pedestal) currnt is considered to be
flowing through it for this interval....so you know for that triangle you use 1/2 base x height to get average current/voltage in that interval.
You end up with a v.i.t energy and you mult this by frequency to get sw losses.....but remember you shoudl consider the intervals
where the current slews, and where the voltage slews too.....and do a similar thing for turnoff and turnon.

I doubt there are many books like that...just get on the LTspice sim and do some boosters...and you will get into it.
