Which figure does a brake test express as a percentage?

  • A.The imbalance across an axle, which is the difference between the two wheels expressed as a proportion of the greater
  • B.The pedal effort
  • C.The deceleration achieved, which is expressed as a proportion of the acceleration due to gravity acting upon it
  • D.Braking efficiency, the total brake force over the vehicle weight

Answer: D

Efficiency is the sum of the brake forces divided by the vehicle weight, and a service brake typically must reach fifty per cent. Imbalance is also a percentage and is a separate limit, which makes the second option a genuine near miss. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Working one numerical case through both cases side by side fixes the distinction better than any rule of thumb.
