In a petrol engine fitted with a carburettor, which component meters fuel and mixes it with air?

Correct answer

In the carburettor.

The carburettor. In this system it meters fuel that mixes with intake air according to operating conditions. Not all engines use it: others use injection. The transmission carries motion to the wheels and cooling controls temperature; neither performs this mixing function.
