Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruents, we can write the following equations:


\begin{cases}DA=BC \\ AB=CD\end{cases}

From the first one, we have:


y=11

From the second one, we have:


\begin{gathered} x+22=46 \\ x=46-22 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}

So we have x = 24 and y = 11, therefore the correct option is the second one.
