Which condition leads to knocking (detonation) in gasoline engines?

💡 Explanation

Knocking occurs due to end-gas auto-ignition via chain branching because unburnt fuel-air mixture ahead of the flame front spontaneously ignites as its temperature and pressure increases; therefore, auto-ignition causes knocking, rather than controlled combustion.
