Best answer

C6H5CH2CIC6H5 is more easily hdrolysed because in this case the reaction proceeds through more stable intermediate carbocation.

The intermediate carbocation in this case is stabilised by resonance effect of two phenyl groups whereas in the other case it is stabilised by resonance effect of only one phenyl group.
