Consider an ionic solid $\mathrm{MX}$, with $\mathrm{NaCl}$ structure. Construct a new structure $\left(\mathrm{Z}\right)$, whose unit cell is constructed from the unit cell of $\mathrm{MX}$, following the sequential instructions given below. Neglect the charge balance.
$\left(\mathrm{i}\right)$ Remove all the anions $\left(\mathrm{X}\right)$, except the central one.
$\left(\mathrm{ii}\right)$ Replace all the face centered cations $\left(\mathrm{M}\right)$, by anions $\left(\mathrm{X}\right)$.
$\left(\mathrm{iii}\right)$ Remove all the corner cations $\left(\mathrm{M}\right)$.
$\left(\mathrm{iv}\right)$ Replace the central anion $\left(\mathrm{X}\right)$, with cation $\left(\mathrm{M}\right)$.
The value of $\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{o}\mathrm{f}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{o}\mathrm{f}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{c}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{s}}\right)$ in $\mathrm{Z}$ is _____.

Hence, the correct answer is 3.
