Question

I got this question in class test.

This interesting question is from Types of Governors topic in chapter Governors of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

Right option is (a) increases

For explanation I would say: When the sleeve of a porter governor moves upwards, the governor speed increases and when the sleeve moves downwards, the governor speed decreases.
