Here is my approach on this one=>
Statement 1 => x,y=23,1 or 44,22=> not suff
Statement 2 => if both the tens and units digit of a number are same then => X=PQ where P and Q are its digits
=> P=Q=> X=10P+P=> 11P=> both numbers must be multiples of 11 => hence the sum must be a multiple of 11 too
Suff
SMASH THAT B

Quick clarification although it does not affect the outcome:

y cannot be 1 because as per the stem 10 < x,y < 90
