[MP PMT 1993]

Options:

A) $ a=b=c $ and $ \alpha =\beta =\gamma =90^{o} $

B) $ a=b\ne c $ and $ \alpha =\beta =\gamma =90^{o} $

C) $ a\ne b\ne c $ and $ \alpha =\beta =\gamma =90^{o} $

D) $ a=b\ne c $ and $ \alpha =\beta =90^{o},\gamma =120^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Tetragonal system has the unit cell dimension $ a=b\ne c,\alpha =\beta =\gamma =90{}^\circ $ .
