The correct answer is: $\mathrm{HIO}_3, \mathrm{HCl}$
The products $X$ and $Y$ are $\mathrm{HIO}_3$ and $\mathrm{HCl}$ respectively. Balanced equation is as follows
$$
\mathrm{I}_2+5 \mathrm{Cl}_2+6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Iodic acid }}{2 \mathrm{HIO}_3}+10 \mathrm{HCl}
$$
