A cation that just fits into the tetrahedral hole should have a radius equal to the radius of tetrahedral hole.

For a tetrahedral hole,

Hence, the radius of cation is 43.87 pm

Now, for an octahedral hole, radius ratio lies between 0.414 – 0.732, therefore, cation A+ can slipped into octahedral hole.
