Starting from the standard c++17 result will be:
50 49.
In this standard, they changed std::cout.

The answer is 50 49 as x is printed first its value is 50 and then why is decremented.

What compiler are you using?
I verified it with Apple LLVM 8.0 and g++ 5.4.0:
1. the result is 50 49,
2. #include <iostream.h> is not valid since a long time, it must be #include <iostream>
<< Is evaluated left to right, the decrement will happen after x was already streamed.

Is y = x same as &y=x?
As you said before the value of x is stored in y. So, we can use y=x is enough.
Why we need to use &y=x?

There is a confusion that the value of x is printed first, then -- decrement the value of y and print.
According to this, the value should be 50 49.
According to this, the value should be 50 49.

If we create an integer variable and then create a reference which refers to this, any mention of the reference will be exactly the same as a mention to original variable.

I can also add that x takes the value of y and also y takes the value of x. This appears when you put y=50;
And then x=25;
The output will become 24 24.
Just try it.
And then x=25;
The output will become 24 24.
Just try it.

Because here value of x is assigned in y. So every change in y also affect value of x.
