What is the number of octahedral voids present in $0.2 \ mol$ of a compound forming $hcp$ structure?

The anions $(A)$ of a $C_{p}A_{q}$ molecule form an $fcc$ lattice. Cations $(C)$ are positioned at the body center and half of the edge centers. The formula of the molecule is:

In a crystal lattice,$C$ anions form a cubic close-packed $(CCP)$ structure. Cations $(A)$ occupy $50\%$ of the tetrahedral voids and cations $(B)$ occupy $50\%$ of the octahedral voids. Determine the molecular formula of the compound.
