Explanation: None.

7. Blow by losses are reduced as the engine speed is ____________
a) increased
b) reduced
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Blow by losses are indirectly proportional to engine speed and it is reduced as the engine speed is increased.

8. A rise in cooling water temperature ____________ engine friction through its effect on oil viscosity.
a) increases
b) reduces
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: None.

9. Higher the oil viscosity ____________ is the friction loss.
a) lower
b) greater
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Viscosity is proportional to friction loss, so higher the oil viscosity greater is the friction loss.
