Morse test can be conducted for multicylinder petrol and diesel engines.

So, D is the correct answer.

D is the correct answer. I too agree.

Why answer is not D?

The correct answer is D.

@Otto Diesel.

You are totally right.

He morse test is a test conducted to determine the power developed in each cylinder in a multi cylinder IC engine.

First the the power developed by all the cylinders together is determined experimentally.

Then the power of the individual cylinders are determined by cutting off the power supply to the spark plug of the cylinder under test.

Then the power developed by the engine with the remaining cylinders is determined experimentally and this value is subtracted from the first value, and this gives you the power developed in the cylinder, whose spark plug was cut off. Similarly this test is carried out on all the cylinders of the engine individual.

Morse test is done on 4 stroke multi cylinder engines.
