Solution

The correct option is A $1$
The number of atoms present in a face - centered cubic unit cell i s $4$
So number of tetrahedral voids = $2 \times 4 = 8$
Number of octahedral voids = $4$
So, the number of octahedral void(s) per atom present in a face - centered cubic unit cell is $= \frac{4}{4} = 1$
