Cyclohex-1-ene is given and it is an alkene. Alkenes consists double bond which are electron rich, so alkene behaves as a nucleophile. And in the first step, it will attack on HCl and abstract H+ which is electron deficient and break single bond between hydrogen and chlorine and provide electron density to chlorine and chloride ion, Cl- is removed. And double bond of cyclohex-1-ene form three membered transition state with H+ ion.
In the second step, three membered transition state break down in such a way that hydrogen is attached to carbon 2 and carbon 1 attains a positive charge.
