In a multi layered close-packed structure :

Athere are twice as many tetrahedral holes as many close-packed atoms
Correct Answer
Bthere are as many tetrahedral holes as many closed packed atoms
Cthere are twice as many octahedral holes as many close-packed atoms
Dthere are as many tetrahedral holes as many octahedral holes

Solution

No. of octahedral holes $$=$$ No. of close packed atoms
No. of Tetrahedral holes $$= 2 \times$$ No. of close packed atoms
Hence, in a multi-layered close-packed structure, there are twice as many tetrahedral holes as many close-packed atoms.
