Solution

(i)
The process involves retention of configuration. Hence, it proceeds through two successive SN2 attacks. SN2 means substitution -nucleophilic-bimolecular. SN2 involves inversion of configuration. Two successive inversions leads to retention of configuration. In the first substitution, group 'x' replaces group 'y'. In the second substitution, group 'y' replaces group 'x'.
(ii)
The process involves inversion of configuration. Hence, it proceeds through SN2 mechanism. SN2 means substitution -nucleophilic-bimolecular.
