'Y' occupies CCP lattice hence the effective number of Y = 4

'X' occupies 2/3 of tetrahedral voids 

Number of tetrahedral voids generated in any unit cell is = 2n

= 2×4 = 8

Since X occupies 2/3 of tetrahedral voids ,

 so Effective number of X = 2/3​ × 8= 16​/3

So X=16​/3  &  Y=4

Hence simplest formula is X4​Y3​
