Expert Answer
According to the structure of NaCl
Here, 'A' will occupy 8 corners of cubic unit cell which will contribute 1/8 each to the cube
therefore 8*1/8 = 1
and 6 face centered atoms will contribute 1/2 to the cube
hence 6x1/2=3
Therefore total contribution of atom'A' is 3+1=4
Now B occupies octahedral voids (NaCl structure) which contributes 1/4
therefore 1+12x1/4 = 4
So the formula is A A4B4 or AB
Now we are removing all face centered atoms along one axis
so the number of atoms removed from cube are 2
so contribution from 'A' remains 8x1/8(corner atoms) + 4x1/2(facecentered atoms) = 3
so the resultant becomes A3B4
