B.

clearance volume to swept volume of the cylinder 

C.

total volume to clearance volume of the cylinder 

D.

Answer ( Option B)

clearance volume to swept volume of the cylinder 

Solution

In reciprocating air compressors, the clearance ratio is defined as ratio of clearance volume to swept volume.

Generally bumping clearance depends on the manufacturer but as a thumb rule, it should be between 0.5% and 1% of the bore of the cylinder.
