 FCC lattice 8 corners  Atom 

                           6 face  Atom 

Corners contribution =18×8=1

 Face contribution =12× 6=3

No. of atomsunit cell=4 

Next nearest neighour  6

Total area occupied by sphere 

Total area FCC2a=4r

=a=4r2a

=4×43πr3a3=163×πr322r3

=74%

Packing efficiency =74y

 Value of yzx2+1

=74×437=8
