  1. A \(4 < 2 < 1 < 3\)
  2. B \(4 < 1 < 3 < 2\)
  3. C \(4 < 3 < 1 < 2\)
  4. D \(2 < 1 < 3 < 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 < 3 < 1 < 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As, EDG on benzene increase the basicity and EWG decrease thus when (EWG) is directly attached to benzene nucleus it is, least basic strength. (1) aromatic amine (2) aliphatic \(-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2\), thus maximum basic strength (3) aromatic but \(-\mathrm{NO}_2\) group…
