Solution

The correct options are
A KP increases with increase of P.
C KP increases with decrease of x.
D KP remains constant with change in P and x.
The number of moles of products is greater than the number of moles of reactants. Hence with increase in the pressure, the reaction shifts in the backward direction so that the value of KP decreases.
As the extent o f dissociation increases the number of moles of product increases and the number of moles of reactant decreases. hence, the value of Kp increases.
