Detailed Solution

Atom A is shared by 8 corners. So, 

effective number of atoms of A per unit cell =8×18=1

(b) Atom B is present at the cube center. 

So, effective number of atoms of B per unit cell = 1. 

(c) C atoms are present at the edges. 1 atom of C is shared by 4 unit cells. So, effective number of atoms 

     of C per unit cell =124=3.

Hence, formula of compound =ABC3
