Assertion (A) : in `CsCl` crystal, `Cs^(o+)` ions adopt bcc arragement.
Reason (R ) : For `N` atoms adopting bcc arragement, there are `2N TVs`.

A

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

B

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`

The "OLIVINE" series of minerals consists of crystal in which Fe^(2+) and Mg^(2+) ions may substitute for each other causing susbstitutional impurity defects without changing the volume of unit cell. In "OLIVINE" series of minerals, O^(2-) ions exist as fcc with Si^(4+) occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of TVs . The density of "forsterite" (magnesium silicate) is 3.21 g cm^(-3) land that of "fayalite" (ferrous silicate) is 4.34 g cm^(-3) . If in "forsterite mineral" bivalent Mg^(2+) ions are to be replaced by unipositive Na^(o+) ions, and if Na^(o+) ions are occupying half of TV_(s) in fcc lattice, the arrangement of rest of the constituents is kept same, then the formula of the new solid is:
