The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons  2AB$ are $180\, kJ\, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \,kJ\, mol^{-1}$  respectively. The presence of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by $100\, kJ\,mol^{-1}.$ The enthalpy change of the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB)$ in the presence of a catalyst will be ( in $kJ\, mol^{-1}$)
