Explain with the help of a neat sketch the construction and working of a three way catalytic convertor
and describe how such emission control systems can reduce the harmful effects of the exhaust gasses.
From the fundamental standpoint, how is ABS (antilock braking system) different from ICS (traction
control system)? Enlist the real life situations (with appropriate explanation) where these systems are
most effective.

Study the starter motor circuit shown in the Figure and give appropriate reasons to the following
observations during troubleshooting:
Voltmeter reads OV when + terminal of the voltmeter is connected to point F and negative
terminal is connected to A, but the starter motor doesn't start.
Voltmeter reads 12V when + terminal of the voltmeter is connected to point F and negative
terminal is connected to A, but the starter motor doesn't start.
Voltmeter reads approx. 5.5V when one of the terminals of the voltmeter is connected to clean
spot on or near the center of the battery positive post and the other terminal is connected to J,
but the starter motor doesn't start
