The correct answer is: $784\ J$
Amount of heat needed
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{dQ}=\eta \mathrm{C}_v \mathrm{dT} \eta\left(\frac{3}{2} R\right) d t\left[\because Q=\frac{3}{2} R\right] \\
& =\frac{67.2}{22.4} \times \frac{3}{2} \times R \times d T \\
& =3 \times \frac{831 \times 3}{2} \times 20=784 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}$
