ANSWER:
The lone pair of chlorine atom is delocalised over the conjugate double bond ring of benzene which adds a double bond character to the C-Cl bond of chlorobenzene which makes the bond shorter and stronger.so the hydrolysis becomes difficult while in alkly halides i.e methyl chloride ,there is a single bond and polarity which is easily hydrolysed.
