  2. B3535
  3. C5555
  4. D7575

Correct answer

B. 3535

Step-by-step solution

Atom XX occupies FCC lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of FCC. In FCC, tetrahedral voids are 88 (in a unit cell) Hence

Atom XX in a unit cell (FCC lattice sites)

=8×18+6×12=4= 8 \times \dfrac{1}{8} + 6 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 4

Atom XX in a unit cell (in T.V.) =12×8=4= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4

Total atomXX in one unit cell =8= 8

For relation between a and r, since Tetrahedral void forms at 14\dfrac{1}{4}th of body diagonal,

a34=2r\dfrac{a\sqrt{3}}{4} = 2r

a=8r3a = \dfrac{8r}{\sqrt{3}}

Packing efficiency =8×43πr3a3×100=8×43πr3(8r3)3×100=35= \dfrac{8 \times \dfrac{4}{3}{\pi r}^{3}}{{a}^{3}} \times 100 = \dfrac{8 \times \dfrac{4}{3}{\pi r}^{3}}{{\left(\dfrac{8r}{\sqrt{3}}\right)}^{3}} \times 100 = 35 %
