Case 1: At expiry if the NIFTY dips down to 5000 level, his net loss will be Rs.8250. [{(100-45) + (180-400)}*50]
Case 2: At expiry if the NIFTY closes at 5200, then his net loss will be Rs.3250. [{(180-400)-(45)}*50]
Case 3: At expiry if the spot NIFTY closes at 5500 level, both the Puts expire worthless and Mr. X gets to keep Rs.6750.
