This is quite straightforward: nest the sol in the ex. For me it would be
write ex, Enter (new paragraph) write the answer and set to sol. Press
Alt-A Left to nest (this might vary depending on emulation mode and
language...) (see the chapter on nesting in the userguide).
BTW: Things start to get nasty if you want to have
\begin{ex}
What is not Foo?
\begin{sol} Bar is the answer. \end{sol}
\end{ex}
\begin{ex}
What is Foo?
\begin{sol} Foo is the answer. \end{sol}
\end{ex}
as without an empty paragraph inbetween (with ERT or a special layout)
LyX will merge this to
\begin{ex}
What is not Foo?
\begin{sol} Bar is the answer. \end{sol}
What is Foo?
\begin{sol} Foo is the answer. \end{sol}
\end{ex}
and this might fail if you have autonumbering on your exercises :-(
(This is a problem with seminar slides as well...)
