See explanation and image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The IUPAC system of nomenclature enables the structure of molecules to be written seamlessly from the name of the compound. Hence it is commonly called the systematic nomenclature.

The parent chain here is propane. It is substituted at the 2- position by a methyl group and at the 3-position by 4-chlorophenyl group as we can see in the image attached to this answer.
