Let us start by adding new start symbols for the terminals.

$$S →XYX$$ $$X → aX|€$$ $$Y→bY|€$$

Let us take S->XYX for converting to CNF.

Replace

$$YX→X1$$

a→A

b→B

$$€ → E$$

So,

$$S → XX1$$ $$X → AX$$ $$X → E$$ $$Y → BY$$ $$Y → E$$ $$X1 → YX$$ $$a → A$$ $$b → B$$ $$ € → E$$

Hence, the above rule is in CNF format.
