The correct answer is:
1482 kJ
In the reaction, two moles of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds and two moles of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bonds are broken.
Hence, energy absorbed
$\begin{aligned}
& =2 \times 416+2 \times 325 \\
& =1482 \mathrm{~kJ}
\end{aligned}$
Hence, energy absorbed
$\begin{aligned}
& =2 \times 416+2 \times 325 \\
& =1482 \mathrm{~kJ}
\end{aligned}$
