Solution

The correct option is B C2H5Br and C2H4
First step is the addition of HBr across double bond that is electrophillic addition reaction.

CH2=CH2+HBrCH3CH2Br

Alcoholic KOH when used elimination reaction takes place.

C2H5Bralc.KOH−−−−C2H4+HBr

hence, X is C2H5Br and Y is C2H4

Option B is correct.
