Both knocking and detonation are the same term. In the case of petrol engine, it occurs due to pre-ignition. Due to some reason temperature of fuel become self-ignite temperature, so it generates flame before spark plug ignites. Now, when spark plug ignites, there will be 2 flames inside the cylinder and when they collide knocking sound occurs.

Please, anybody explain the difference between detonation and knocking.

But nowaday, Most of the petrol engine comes with injector. And spark plug doesn't use in it. Why?
And I know petrol have low ignition temperature so how can we ignite it by compression in this type of petrol engine?

Compression ratio for SI engine is 16 : 1.

Spark plug use in petrol engine because we can not burn petrol by compression or pressure in a petrol engine is much lower than diesel engine it's about to 8 to 10 bar but in diesel engine, it becomes up to 18 to 20 bar.

Anyone can explain about why we are using spark plug in a petrol engine?

This range is used because if more compression is used there is the possibility of occurrence of knocking which can affect the system adversely.

The compression ratio of petrol engine is 6-10 and compression ratio of diesel engine is 15-22. Always should take nearer value. So 'B' is nearest Answer.

Petrol & diesel both viscosity difference, its calorific value also different.
