$A$ cubic structure is formed where atoms of element $X$ are occupied at the corners of the cube and also at the face centers. Atoms of element $Y$ are present at the body center and at the edge centers. If all the atoms are removed along a plane passing through the middle of the cube (bisecting the four edges), the formula will become

  • A
    $X Y_2$
  • B
    $X_4 Y_3$
  • C
    $X Y$
  • D
    $X_2 Y_3$
