I have seen many of the old vehicle in ic engine oil pump connected to the cam shaft.

Now a day it connected to cam shaft timing gear.

Old vehicle was driven by the camshaft and new vehicle gives by crankshaft. So I think A is the right answer.

In above question there is no clear either it a engine oil pump or fuel pump. Engine oil pump is drive by crank shaft and fuel pump is drive by cam shaft.

Akki said:   8 years ago
Yes, right actually fuel pump gear mesh to camshaft gear.

Oil pump are driven by different part either its crank or cam design by the manufacture.

Most of manufacture take option of crankshaft drive cause its reduction and weight.

And most of oil pressure required for the crankshaft.
