$A$ solid compound is formed by atoms of $A$ (cations),$B$ (cations),and $O$ (anions). Atoms of $O$ form an $hcp$ lattice. Atoms of $A$ occupy $25\%$ of the tetrahedral voids,and atoms of $B$ occupy $50\%$ of the octahedral voids. What is the molecular formula of the solid?

The structure of a mixed oxide is cubic close packed $(ccp)$. The cubic unit cell of the mixed oxide is composed of oxide ions. One-fourth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent metal $A$ and the octahedral voids are occupied by a monovalent metal $B$. The formula of the oxide is:
