Solution
The correct option is AII>III>IV>I The order of decreasing rate of hydrolysis for SN1 reaction is II>III>IV>I. Benzyl bromide has lowest rate of hydrolysis for SN1 reaction. This rate increases when alkyl substituents are present. The increase is maximum when methyl substituent is present. The increase is minimum when isopropyl substituent is present.
