Question

Arrange the following systems in decreasing order of number of lattices in it.
A. Triclinic
B. Orthorhombic
C. Tetragonal
D. Cubic
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A, B, D, C
• B. B, C, D, A
• C. C, D, A, B
• D. B, D, C, A

Hint:

A quick mnemonic for the number of Bravais Lattices in the 7 crystal systems (C-T-O-H-R-M-T): 3-2-4-1-1-2-1. Orthorhombic is the "most versatile" because it allows for all 4 possible centering variations without violating its symmetry!
