Cyclohexene after hydrogenation would be converted to purely saturated cyclohexane.
As cyclohexene has one pi bond its enthalpy of hydrogenation is -119.5 kJ mol-1.
In benzene there are 3 pi bonds hence the enthalpy of hydrogenation = -150.4 kJ –  3*x kJ = 208.
 
Hence
3x = -358.4
x = - 119.46 KJ/mol
