Solution

The cathode is the negatively charged electrode and the Anode is the positively charged electrode.
In $X_{3} Y_{2}$ , X is positively charged and Y is negatively charged.
Since oppositely charged species attract each other X will move towards the Cathode and Y will move towards Anode.
So element X will be obtained at the Cathode electrode.
And Y will be obtained at the Anode electrode.
If the compound formed between Y and X is melted and electricity is passed through the compound, the element X will be obtained at the Cathode and Y at the Anode of the electrolytic cell.
