• x and y can be equal to 1..
  If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
  again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
  returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
  
  If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
  lose..
  
  So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
  are possible..
  
  so ans is a)He may not lose
