A+ is in the octahedral void of X-.

2r++2r-=2√2r-

r+=(√2-1)r-=0.414*250=103.5≈104 pm

sir, what is the fundamental mistake in considering r+ =0.732r-?

what will happen if r+r-=0.732(just less than)

then what is the implication of saying if 0.414 ≤r/R ≤0.732, it is an octahedral void?

then there is a concept of tightly fit and loosely fit.

when r/R=0.414 it is tightly fit.

as we go on increasing the ratio, it becomes loose

and after 0.732 it is so loose that it changes to BCC

So sir if not mentioned, we always take it to be tightly fit?

=> R(+) / R(-) = .414
=> R(+) + R(-) = √2(R-)
=> R(+) = R(-)*(.414)
=> R(+) = 250 * .414
=> R(+) = 104(approx.)
Therefore (A) is the answer
