Solution:

$ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} methyl \\ bromide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}Br}}\,+KCN(alco.)\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{(X)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CN}}\, $ $ \xrightarrow[Na+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH]{\operatorname{Re}duction}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} ethyl\,a\min e \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(Y) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\, $
