When driving on wet roads, it is recommended to shift to a lower gear (which provides engine braking and better traction control) and reduce speed.
Q52
Safe Driving & Vehicle MaintenanceFriction & Slip
Consider the following statements, choose the correct combination: Statement-1: In case of skidding, distance travel along the road is more than the movement of wheel circumference. Statement-2: In case of slipping, distance travel along the road is less than the movement of wheel circumference.
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Both statement (1) and statement (2) are individually true.)
In skidding, wheels lock up and stop rotating (circumference movement ≈0), but the vehicle continues sliding forward (distance along road > wheel rotation). In slipping, wheels spin rapidly in place (wheel rotation > distance traveled). Both statements are true.
Sudden application of break in wet road and improper super elevation may cause of
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Skidding)
Sudden braking on wet roads or wrong superelevation creates unbalanced lateral forces, causing the tyres to lose traction and slide along the pavement (skidding).
When driving at night in rainy conditions, high beams is
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Bad as increases glare and limit driver vision)
Water droplets in the air and on the windscreen scatter the intense high beam light back into the driver's eyes, creating excessive glare and severely limiting vision.
Yellow colour light is most preferred than white colour, as a fog light because
💡Correct Answer: Option C (Yellow light has larger wavelength than white colour light and is conspicuous)
Yellow light has a longer wavelength than green, blue, or violet parts of white light, making it subject to less scattering by fog particles (Rayleigh scattering). It penetrates better and is highly visible (conspicuous) without blinding reflection.
Arrange the following coloured lights in shortest to longest wavelength: (i) Green, (ii) Yellow, (iii) Orange, (iv) Red. Correct sequence of shortest to longest wavelength is:
💡Correct Answer: Option A ((i) (ii) (iii) (iv))
In the visible spectrum, the wavelengths from shortest to longest follow the standard sequence: Green (approx 530 nm) → Yellow (approx 580 nm) → Orange (approx 600 nm) → Red (approx 650 nm). Hence, (i) (ii) (iii) (iv).
On a foggy day, two bus drivers spot each other. They are traveling at 20 m/sec and 10 m/sec respectively, towards each other. Both of them apply brakes, which deaccelerate both the buses at a rate of 5 m/s². How far apart will they be, when they have come to stop.
💡Correct Answer: Option B (50 meter)
Stopping distance s=2au2. For Bus 1: s1=2×5202=40 m. For Bus 2: s2=2×5102=10 m. Total stopping distance = s1+s2=40+10=50 m. Thus, they need to be 50 meters apart to avoid a collision.
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Bad because it reflects back and can dazzle)
Using high beams in thick fog is dangerous because the water droplets reflect the bright light directly back into the driver's eyes, creating a blinding glare (dazzle effect) and reducing visibility further.
When you are driving at night, and approaching another vehicle from behind, must
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Use low beam or dim your headlights)
When following another vehicle closely at night, you must switch to low beams (dim headlights) to prevent reflecting blinding light into the front driver's rear-view mirrors.
When you are driving at night and wants to overtake a car in the front, you must

Engine misfiring occurs when the fuel-air mixture fails to ignite properly in the cylinder. A faulty or dirty spark plug is the most common cause of ignition failure in petrol engines.
Q104
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlCooling System
Among the following options, suitable reason for engine over heating is (i) Excessive valve clearance (ii) Insufficient coolant (iii) Faulty radiator fan (iv) Faulty water pump
💡Correct Answer: Option C ((ii) (iii) and (iv))
Engine overheating is directly caused by issues in the cooling system, such as insufficient coolant levels (ii), a faulty radiator fan (iii), or a failed water pump (iv) that fails to circulate coolant.
V-belts is most suitable when the distance between drive and the driven pulley is
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Short)
V-belts are designed for power transmission between shafts that are located close together (short center-to-center distances). Over long distances, they tend to slip or sag.
The most important characteristic of a lubricating oil is its
💡Correct Answer: Option D (Viscosity)
Viscosity (resistance to flow) is the most critical property of lubricating oil, determining its ability to form a protective film between moving engine parts under varying temperatures.
Q111
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlFuel System
Flooding in the carburetor of a motor vehicle is controlled by
💡Correct Answer: Option D (Float)
The carburetor float and its needle valve regulate the fuel level inside the fuel bowl. If the fuel level gets too high, the float rises to shut the inlet valve, preventing fuel flooding.
Q112
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlFuel System
When the engine is being cold, which of the following valves is used, to start the engine manually?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Choke valve)
A choke valve restricts the intake air, drawing in more fuel to create a rich fuel-air mixture necessary for starting a cold engine.
Q113
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlCooling System
What is the purpose of radiator of a motor vehicle engine?
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Maintain temperature and prevent from over heating)
The radiator acts as a heat exchanger, transferring heat from the engine coolant flowing through it to the outside air, keeping the engine at optimum operating temperature and preventing overheating.
Among the following options, what are the basic characteristics or properties of the brake fluid? (i) Low viscosity (ii) High viscosity (iii) High boiling point (iv) Low boiling point
💡Correct Answer: Option B ((i) and (iii))
Good quality brake fluid must have low viscosity (flows easily in lines for instant response) and a high boiling point (to avoid vaporization under severe braking temperatures, which leads to vapor lock). Hence, (i) and (iii).
Among the following options, which type of air cleaner or filter is most effective in diesel engines vehicle?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Oil bath type)
Oil bath air cleaners are highly effective at trapping large amounts of dust and contaminants, historically widely preferred for heavy-duty diesel engines operating in dirty/dusty conditions.
Q117
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlCooling System
Among the following options, which is the best water used in a car radiator?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Soft water)
Soft water (or distilled water) contains minimal mineral concentrations, preventing scale buildup, corrosion, and clogging inside the thin coolant passages of the radiator.
Among the following options, what "BS IV" and "BS VI" engines signify
💡Correct Answer: Option A (Emission control standard norms of India)
Bharat Stage (BS) emission standards are regulations instituted by the Government of India to regulate the output of air pollutants from internal combustion engines.
Q120
Automobile Mechanisms & Pollution ControlElectrical System
Among the following options, which one is used to supply power to starter motor in the diesel engine?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Battery)
The vehicle battery stores chemical energy and supplies high electrical current required to crank the heavy-duty starter motor to start the diesel engine.
