This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules which decreases the intermolecular forces operating between its particles and hence, the viscosity of a liquid decreases. So, the viscosity of a liquid decreases if its temperature is increased.
