Automobile Engineering MCQs

312. The main function of the tread pattern on tyre is that

[A]. the tread grooves pass air between the tyre and road surface, thereby preventing tyre from overheating
[B]. the crests between the tread grooves absorb road noise
[C]. in wet conditions, the tread grooves expel water that is drawn between the tyre and road surface
[D]. the tread pattern protects the tyre’s inner carcass from small stones and pieces of glass
✅ The correct answer is option C.

313. In a ventilated disc brake,

[A]. a duct directs air towards the caliper for cooling while the vehicle is moving
[B]. caliper is covered with cooling fins
[C]. disc contains many small holes for optimum cooling performance
[D]. disc contains radial vanes between its rubbing surfaces for optimum cooling performance
✅ The correct answer is option D.

314. The difference between DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids is

[A]. DOT 4 fluid has a higher boiling point than DOT 3 fluid
[B]. DOT 4 fluid has a lower boiling point than DOT 3 fluid
[C]. DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids have the same boiling point, but DOT 4 fluid has a longer service life
[D]. DOT 4 fluid is more resistant to freezing than DOT 3 fluid
✅ The correct answer is option A.

315. Incorrect steering axis inclination (S.A.I.) causes

[A]. tendency to assume toe-out orientation
[B]. generation of a braking effect at tight corners
[C]. poor recovery of the steering wheel after making a turn
[D]. the vehicle to pull to the side of lesser inclination
✅ The correct answer is option C.
