Where is a brake debooster located in a hydraulic brake system?

  1. Between the master cylinder and the brake control valve

  2. Between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cylinder

  3. At the entrance to the master cylinder

  4. Directly within the brake actuating cylinder

The correct answer is: Between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cylinder

A brake debooster is located between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cylinder in a hydraulic brake system. This component is essential for reducing hydraulic pressure to the brake actuating cylinder, ensuring proper braking action and control. Option A is incorrect because the brake debooster is not located between the master cylinder and the brake control valve. Option C is incorrect as the brake debooster is not positioned at the entrance to the master cylinder. Option D is also incorrect as the debooster is not directly within the brake actuating cylinder. Therefore, the correct location for a brake debooster in a hydraulic brake system is between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cylinder.
