Detailed Solution

Metal X given in the reaction is zinc.
Metal X is more reactive, and hence it displaces the metal Y from the solution. Zinc metal is used in the process of galvanisation, which involves the protection of iron surfaces from corrosion. The reaction of the metal X in the solution of YSO4 is as follows:
X(s) + YSO4(aq) → XSO4(aq) + Y(s)
