In a cubic close packed structure (ccp) of mixed oxides, it is found that lattice has O^(2-) ions and one half of the octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent cations (A^(3+)) and one-eighth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent cations (B^(2+)) . Derive the formula of the mixed oxide.
