Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
C
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
Since
A
is present at the 8 corners, number of
A
ions per unit cell
=
1
8
×
8
=
1
Since
B
is present at the centre of 6 faces, number of
B
per unit cell
=
1

×
6
=
3
∴
The ratio of
A
and
B
is
1
:
3
, so the formula of the compound is
A
B
3
.Hence, the correct option is (C).
