Detailed Solution

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact.
Pressure is the force acting on a unit area of any surface. When the contact area decreases, the pressure increases and vice versa. Since Pressure is inversely proportional to area, a smaller area of contact will apply more pressure and a broader area of contact will apply less pressure.
Pressure=Forcearea
