The correct answers are:
$X$ and $Y$ are enantiomers, $X$ and $Y$ are both aldohexoses, $X$ is a D-sugar and $Y$ is an L-sugar
Both the given molecules contain 6 carbon atoms with an aldehyde group, so these are called aldohexoser, In $X$, the $-O H$ attached to second last carbon in on right hand side while in $Y$ it is on left hand side, so $x_{i j}$ D-sugar and $Y$ is L-sugar, $X$ and $Y$ are the mirror images of each other, i.e., these are enantiomers.
