Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (b)

Solution:

Key Idea Packing efficiency

= Volume occupied by sphere  Volume of cube ×100

Given,

rB=2rA a2=a1+50100a1=1.5a1

For bcc lattice

4rA=3a1 rA=3a14 a1=4rA3 a2=1.5(4rA3) =32(4rA3)

a2=23rA Packing efficiency =43πrA3×zA+43πrB3×zBa23

[As the atoms A are present at the edges only zA=18×8=1, atom B is present only at the body centre zB=1 ]

PE2=(43πrA3×1)+(43πrB3×1)a23 =43πrA3+43π(2rA)3(23rA)3=43πrA3×98×33rA3=π23 =90.72
