Solution

The correct option is A

(Q) > (R) > (P)


Rate Stability of carbocation formed

So look for stabilization factors. In (Q), post-ionization, the allyl carbocation is stabilized by resonance.

(P) will have to form a highly unstable primary carbocation whereas (R), when undergoing SN1, proceeds through a more stable secondary carbocation.
