BCC contains 2 atoms in total
1 in centre and 1/8 part of each atom in 8 corners
 
The relation between radius of atom and length of cube is 4r = (3)1/2a
So r/a = (3)1/2/4
 
Packing fraction of bcc is given as
Volume of atoms  ÷  Volume of cube
= 2 × 4/3 × π × r3  ÷  a3
= 8/3 × 22/7 × {(3)1/2/4}3
=0.68
