this is a stable product as :-
1)If it would be ortho or meta chloro hexane then there will be a repulsion between the lone pair of chlorine and π electrons.

Answer:
UV light breaks Cl2 into 2Cl radicals. 1Cl radical then attacks cyclohexene to abstract H radical. The most stable carbon free radical can only form on 3-cyclohexene due to resonance that can follow to stabilise the radical formed. Hence, the major product is 3-cyclohexene.
@Resonance in @cyclo compound without interrupting the double bond. Can you explain How?
