The correct answer is: 75
Octane number is defined as the percentage by volume of iso-octane present in the mixture of iso-octane and n-heptane which has the same antiknocking properties as the fuel under examination.

Given fuel (25% n-heptane +75% iso-octane) Hence, octane number = 75 (because iso octane is 75%)
