Detailed Solution

y form ccp.

let no. of y is n.

no of octahedral voids = n
 

no. of tetrahedral voids =2n.

but cation x is equally distributed in Octahedral. 8 tetrahedral voids as all Oct. voids are occupied 

80   cation x is distributed as n + n (  Octahedral + tetrahedral)

YX=1n2n

B:A::1:2          
Formula is x2y.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
