Since  it has antifluorite structure this means the shortest distance will be a/2 and the longest distance will be 1.732a/2. So the answer will be 1.465 for least distance and the maximum distance will be 2.537.

antifluoride     shortest distance = a/2
                       longest distance = root3 a/2
given that value of a=2.93 
 so the answer is 4
