Detailed Solution

The ratio of the radius of cation and anion helps determine the coordination number.

It is provided in the question that radius of cation is r+=95 pm and the radius of anion is r-=181 pm

Taking ratio we have:

r+r-=95181 pm

r+r-0.524 pm
Because the ratio of the radius is in between 0.414 to 0.732, the coordination number of cation is 6.
