Octane number is defined against a scale in which iso-octane is

  • A.100 and n-heptane is zero
  • B.zero and n-heptane is 100
  • C.100 and cetane is zero
  • D.50 and n-heptane is 100

Answer: A

Correct answer: 100 and n-heptane is zero

The scale is defined by two reference fuels: iso-octane, which resists knock well, is assigned 100, and n-heptane, which knocks readily, is assigned zero. A fuel of octane number 90 knocks like a mixture of 90 per cent iso-octane and 10 per cent n-heptane in a standard test engine. Cetane belongs to the diesel scale and has no place in this definition.
