Choose an option
  • A
    10 bar
  • B
    100 bar
  • C
    150 bar
  • D
    500 bar

Answer

Correct Answer: 150 bar

Explanation

Concept/ApproachTraditional mechanically-controlled DI diesels commonly use injection pressures in the ~150–250 bar range. Modern common-rail systems can exceed 1000 bar, but for textbook basics, ≈150 bar is the representative value among the given choices.

Elimination10 bar and 100 bar are too low; 500 bar is high for older conventional systems.

Final Answer150 bar.
