Detailed Solution

A simple cubic packed crystal consists of atoms present only at the corners of the cube, touching each other at the edges.

Mathematically, a=2r

So, the volume of the unit cubic cell a3=2r3=8r3

The volume of occupied space=43πr3 

Therefore, packing fraction in a simple cubic cell=Volume of one atomVolume of cubic unit cell

=43πr38r3=π6

Hence, the required answer is A) π6.
