Correct Answer is: (C) AB3C
An atom at the corner of a cube is shared among 8 unit cells.As there are 8 corners in a cube, number of corner atom(A) per unit cell = 8 × 1/8 = 1.
A face-centered atom in a cube is shared by two unit cells.As there are 6 faces in a cube, number of face-centered atoms (B) per unit cell = 6 x 1/2 = 3.
An atom in the body of the cube is not shared by other cells.
∴ Number of atoms (C) at the body centre per unit cell = 1.
Hence, the formula of the solid is AB3C.
