Sol. Answer (2)

On increasing pressure the C.N. of solid increases because on increasing pressure atoms/particles come

closer to each other i.e., C.N. increases [closeness increases] and [K.E. decreases] and on increasing

temperature K.E. of particles increases by which particles go far away i.e., C.N. decreases [closeness

decreases]
