Default Whichever one of you

There is a book Advanced Grammar in Use by Martin Hewings.
And it is written in it:

Relative clauses begins with whatever, whoever or whichever are used to talk about things or people that are indefinite or unknown.

And there is one of the examples that astonishes me:

Whichever one of you broke the window will have to pay for it.

Why do they need one of you? Can we not use whichever of you?
