The statement is false because;

The indicated power of multi-cylinder is always greater than single-cylinder engine.
I.P = 100*K*pm*L*A*n/ 60 kw.

Where,
K: Number of cylinders.
Pm: actual mean effective pressure in bar.
L: Length of stroke in metres.
A: Area of the Piston in m2.
n: Number of working strokes per minute.

IP=KPmLAN/60

For single cylinder k=1.
For multi cylinder k=n.
