In a metal oxide,$O^{2-}$ ions are arranged in $hcp$ lattice while metal ions occupy $2/3$ of the octahedral voids. The simplest formula of the oxide is:

  • A
    $MO$
  • B
    $M_2O_3$
  • C
    $MO_2$
  • D
    $M_2O$

In a compound $AB_2O_4$,the oxide ions form a cubic close-packed $(CCP)$ lattice. The molar ratio of trivalent cations to bivalent cations is $2:1$. If all the bivalent ions occupy octahedral voids and trivalent ions occupy both tetrahedral and octahedral voids in equal numbers,then the fraction of octahedral voids that remain unoccupied is:
