In case of condensing steam engines, the pressure of steam in the cylinder during exhaust stroke is __________ the atmospheric pressure.

                Given Answer is right, because here it is talking about steam engine cylinder, not about steam turbine and condenser.
In exhaust stroke, it should be higher than atmospheric pressure.
                In exhaust stroke, it should be higher than atmospheric pressure.

                B Should be the right answer as pressure is below the atmospheric pressure to flow to condenser otherwise the steam will be discharged to atmosphere.

                Agree @Jai Maurya.
Steam pressure is less than atm pressure during exhaust stroke in condensing steam engines.
                Steam pressure is less than atm pressure during exhaust stroke in condensing steam engines.

                B option is right because in condenser pressure is less than ATM pressure.

Yes, You are absolutely right.
                Yes, You are absolutely right.

                I think B is the right answer.

                Yes, it should be B.
