4. If the compression ratio in I.C. engine increases, then its thermal efficiency will ___________
a) increase
b) decrease
c) remain same
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The compression ratio in I.C. engine is directly proportional to the thermal efficiency, so as it increases, then its thermal efficiency will increase.
