Solution

Dear Indrani Majumdar,

When mixture is heated at 300^o C in presence of Pt cyclohexane will convert to benzene that is aromatic and more stable while cyclopentane will be unaffected because cyclopentadiene is non-aromatic and unstable than cyclopentane.
So the anser is Benzene and cyclopentane.

Regards
