X is reducible to Y-->
Example-
Problem X:
"Let L be a Regular Language And G be a Context free grammar. Then whether L is a subset of the language generated by G is decidable or not?"
Problem Y:
"Let G & G' be two context free grammars. Then whether Language generated by G i.e. L(G) is a subset of language generated by L(G') is decidable or not?
Now here we can clearly see that X is reducible to Y, because if we are provided with a Regular language we can easily get equivalent CFG.
So just by converting Regular Language to equivalent Context free grammar we can reduce problem x to problem y.
And we all know that problem y described above is undecidable, that's why problem x is undecidable.
Hope this helped. You all are requested to comment if anything described above is conceptually incorrect.
Thank u!!
