Solution

The decreasing order of relative reactivity with an electrophile is:
Chlorobenzene >p nitrochlorobenzene >2,4 dinitrochlorobenzene

As the number of electron withdrawing nitro groups on the benzene nucleus increases, the electron density of benzene ring decreases and the reactivity with an electrophile decreases.
