  1. Which of the following is the correct statement?

  2. A.

    For a given compression ratio, both Otto and Diesel cycles have the same efficiency.

    B.

    For a given compression ratio, Otto cycle is more efficient than Diesel cycle.

    C.

    For a given compression ratio, Diesel cycle is more efficient than Otto cycle.

    D.

    The efficiency of Otto or Diessel cycle has nothing to do with compressioin ratio.
