Detailed Solution

Let we assume one corner of unit cell at origin so the corners of units cell will be at 
A(0,0,0),B(83,0,0),C(83,0,83),D(0,0,83),w(0,83,83), x(83,83,83),y(83,83,0),z(0,83,0)

Now two nearest octahedral void which will be either on edge centre of body centre will be nearest to tetrahedral void on nearest body diagonal.
So, tenth of body diagonal =(83)3=24A 
Let octahedral void is on AD and nearest tetrahedral void is on AX from ¼ of total AX from A
So, coordinate of octahedral centre=(0,0,43)
Coordinate of tetrahedral centre =(23,23,23)
Distance b/w these voids =(23)2+(23)2+(23)2=6A0
