length of body diagonal = \sqrt{3}a=r+r+2(2r)

                                      = \sqrt{3}a=6r

                                      = a=2\sqrt{3}r

Packing\; fraction=\frac{volume\; of \; particles}{volume\;of\; unit\; cell}

                                        =\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}+\frac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^{3}}{a^{3}}

                                        =\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}+\frac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^{3}}{\left (2\sqrt{3}r \right )^{3}}

                                         = 91.27%=90%
