AB4
A3B
AB
AB3

Solution
'A' ions are at the centre of each face. There are six face centres and each contributes one half to the unit cell. Total number of A ions present per unit cell
`=6 xx 1/2 = 3`.
'B' ions occupy corners of the cube. There are 8 corners and each contributes one eight to the unit cell.
Total number of B ions present per unit cell
`=8xx1/8=1`.
The formula of a compound is A3B
Hence, the correct answer is A3B.
