Element $X$ crystallizes in a $12$ coordination face-centered cubic $(fcc)$ lattice. On applying high temperature,it changes to an $8$ coordination body-centered cubic $(bcc)$ lattice. Find the ratio of the density of the crystal lattice before and after applying high temperature. The atomic radius of $X$ is the same in both crystals.

  • A
    $1:1$
  • B
    $2\sqrt{2} : \sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} : \sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $2(\sqrt{2})^3 : (\sqrt{3})^3$
