(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in class test.

The doubt is from Classification of Lubricating System topic in division Engine Friction and Lubrication of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

A semi-pressure lubrication system is indeed a combination of splash and pressure lubrication systems. In this system, oil is supplied to some parts of the engine under pressure, while other parts rely on splash lubrication. It offers a balance between the simplicity of splash lubrication and the effectiveness of pressure lubrication.
