\mathrm{\ln \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=\frac{E_{a}}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}}\right)}

\mathrm{\ln 2 =\frac{E_{a}}{2 \text { Cal }}\left[\frac{1}{410}-\frac{1}{420}\right] }

\mathrm{E_{a} =\frac{0.693 \times 2 \times 410 \times 420}{10} \quad }
\mathrm{E_{a} =23866.9 \mathrm{cal} \Rightarrow E_{a}=23.8 \, \mathrm{kcal}}

Correct answer (d).
