Detailed Solution

Number of effective Y atoms = (8 corners X 1/8 per corner atom share +6 faces X 12 per middle of the atom share) 

                                               =( 8 X 1/8 +6 X 12

                                               = 4 

One Y atoms create 2 Y tetrahedral voids = 2 X 4=8

Number of effective X atoms =13x 8 =83X

Formula of unit cell = X83Y4 =X2Y3
