In a hypothetical solid, C atoms are found to form cubical close-packed lattice. A atoms occupy all tetrahedral voids and B atoms occupy all octahedral voids. A and B atoms are of appropriate size, so that there is no distortion in the CCP lattice of C atoms. Now, if a plane as shown in the following figure is cut, then the cross section of this plane will look like

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

From figure, it is clear that 4 corners and 2 face centers lie on the shaded plane. Therefore, there will be six C atoms, and atoms (marked A) in TVs do not touch other. Fig (i) is not possible; four atom marked C. Fig. (ii) is not possible, atoms A in TVs are not shown in figure. Fig. (iii) is possible, since atoms A in TVs are not touching each other. There are four atoms A on two body diagonals contained in shades plane. Fig (iv) is not possible, since atoms A in TVs are touching each other.
