Assertion :- (A) total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close of each packing including the one that is present at the body centre . Is four . Reason :- ( R) Besides the body centre there is one octahedral void present at the centre of each of the six faces of the unit cell and each of which is shared between two adjeccent units cells.
