  1. A I>III>II
  2. B III>II>I
  3. C I>II>III
  4. D II>III>I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) III>II>I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Cleavage of \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{X}\) bond occurred by \(\mathrm{Ar}-\mathrm{SN}\) reaction.
Rate of \(\mathrm{Ar}-\mathrm{SN} \propto-\mathrm{M},-\mathrm{I} \propto \frac{1}{+\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{I}}\)
