Options:
A) (III) < (II) < (I)
B) (II) < (I) < (III)

Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- For any $ {S_N}1 $ reaction reactivity is decided by ease of dissociation of alkyl halide $ R-X{R^{\oplus }}+{X^{\oplus }} $ Higher the stability of $ {R^{\oplus }} $ (carbocation) higher would be reactivity of $ {S_N}1 $ reaction. Since stability of cation follows order. $ CH _3-CH _2-\underset{\oplus }{\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{C}}},H _2 $ $ <CH _3-\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{C}},H-CH _2-CH _3 $ $ <p-H _3CO-C _6H _4-\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{C}},H _2 $ Hence correct order is $ $
