The metallic sound produced by engine due to the pre-ignition of fuel is called _______________?
Correct answer: A. knocking
- A. knocking
- B. reforming
- C. cracking
- D. a and c
Explanation
Knocking is the metallic sound caused by abnormal, premature or uncontrolled ignition of the fuel-air mixture in an engine. Reforming changes hydrocarbon structure to improve fuel quality, while cracking breaks large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Students may choose cracking because it is another petrol-related process, but it does not produce the engine sound.
