Solution(By Examveda Team)
Iso-octane has little tendency towards detonation. gasoline with the same knocking characteristics as a mixture of 90% iso-octane and 10% heptane would have an octane rating of 90. Because some fuels are more knock-resistant than iso-octane, the definition has been extended to allow for octane numbers higher than 100.This Question Belongs to Mechanical Engineering >> Internal Combustion Engines (I.C.
