The ionic radius of CI ion is 181 pm. Consider the closest packed structure in which all anions are just touching:
(i) Calculate the radius of the cation that just fits into the octahedral holes of this lattice of anions. (ii) Calculate the radius of the cation that just fits into the tetrahedral holes of this lattice of anions.

given:
thus,
Radius of octahedral void = 0.414 r = 0.414 x 181 pm = 74.934 pm
Cation having radius 74.934 pm will just fit into octahedral voids.

= 0.225 r = 0.225 x 181 pm = 40.725 pm
Cation having radius 40.725 pm will just fit into tetrahedral void.

Why is glass considred a super-cooled liquid?

Glass is amorphous solids and  have a tendency to flow, though very slowly. Therefore, these are called pseudo solids or super cooled liquids .

Refractive index of a solid is observed to have the same value along all directions. Comment on the nature of this solid. Would it show clevage property?

Refractive index of a solid which have the same value along all directions are isotropic in nature. It would not show cleavage property.

Why are solids rigid?

Solids are rigid because the internuclear distance between the  molecules of a solid are very less and closely packed and their positions are fixed due to the strong forces of attraction between them.
