The correct answer is: 5

Let's first balance the two given chemical equations:

Na2O+H2O2NaOHX

In this equation, there are two NaOH molecules, so the total number of oxygen atoms in the products is 1.

Cl2O7+H2O2HClO4Y

In this equation, there are two HClO4 molecules, so the total number of oxygen atoms in the products is 4.

So X has one O and Y has four O.
