Let $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$. Let $x$ be the number of $9$-digit numbers formed using the digits of the set $S$ such that only one digit is repeated and it is repeated exactly twice. Let $y$ be the number of $9$-digit numbers formed using the digits of the set $S$ such that only two digits are repeated and each of these is repeated exactly twice. Then,
