Hydrogenation of cyclohexene and benzene take place as shown below. The resonance energy of benzene is $-36 \mathrm{kcalmol}^{-1}$






$\Delta \mathrm{H}=-\mathrm{x} \mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{mol}-1$



$\Delta \mathrm{H}=-\mathrm{y} \mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{mol}-1$


The relationship between $x$ and $y$ is

• A

  $y=3 x$
• B

  $y=3 x+36$
• Correct answer
  C

  $y=3 x-36$
• D

  $y=3 x+12$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
