How many crankshafts are there in a V-8 automobile engine?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 8

  4. 16

The correct answer is: 8

A V-8 engine has 8 cylinders arranged in a V-shaped configuration, thus it requires 8 crankshafts to connect to each cylinder's piston. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests that there would be 16 crankshafts for each pair of cylinders, which is not the case in a V-8 engine.
