2* sqrt(3(2/4)*(3/5)*(4/6)...(x/y))=1

By inspection it is obvious that y=x+2

=>2*sqrt(3(2/4)*(3/5)*(4/6)...(x/(x+2)))=1

=>2*sqrt(3*(2*3)/((x+1)(x+2)))=1

Squaring both sides we get

=>(4*3*2*3)/((x+1)(x+2))=1

=>x^2+3x+2-72=0

=>x^2+3x-70=0

=>x^2+10x-7x-70=0

=>x(x+10)-7(x+10)=0

=>(x+10)(x-7)=0

X can't be negative.

Hence x=7 and y=x+2=9
