Answer A is correct because at beginning of suction the temperature is less. As well as the piston move downward the cylinder surface be contact with air and so that cylinder heat absorbed by air and its temperature increases.

Option B seems to be more appropriate because the fresh air cools the cylinder and reduces the temperature resulting minimum temperature.

All those who are giving the reason PV=nRT are only taking into consideration P, V and T parameters, also look at n, at the beginning of stroke n is very less and after the completion of suction stroke n will be higher, and since temp is inversely proportional to n we can also say temperature will be higher at beginning and lesser at end of suction stroke.

He tells the minimum temperature means the ends of suction stroke the piston will comes from TDC to BDC. Because of the friction the minimum heat will be generated. The answer is B.

I believe option B is more appropriate, because at the beginning of the suction stroke high temperature exhaust gas had just omitted hence the chamber will be still hot. By the end of suction stroke chamber is filled with fresh air which is atm temp.

Temperature is less at the end of the suction stroke, as fresh air also takes the cylinder's hotness.

I don't think PV=nRT is valid for open systems like engines. It is valid for only closed systems i.e. until inlet and exhaust valves are closed. So, answer is B according to me.

A is correct because as suction stroke completes some fresh charge is already in while the cylinder is about to suck.
So its due to the fresh charges that the temperature is minimum.
So its due to the fresh charges that the temperature is minimum.

Option B is correct, because fresh air have low temp than exhaust gases in the cylinder.

A/C to TS diagram minimum temperature at end of suction.
