Detailed Solution

AgBr shows both Schottky, as well as the Frenkel detect. In AgBr, both Ag+ and Br ions are absent from the lattice causing the Schottky defect. However, Ag+ ions are mobile so they have a tendency to move aside the lattice and trapped in interstitial site hence, cause, Frenkel defect.
