Solution
The correct option is D (ii)>(i)>(iii)
Electron donating group stabilises the positive charge by pushing electrons toward positive charge and electron withdrawing group destabilises the positive charge by attracting electrons toward itself.
−CH2CH3 is electron donating group
−OCH3 is an electron withdrawing group and −O||C−CH3 is an electron withdrawing group.
among both -I effect order −O||C−CH3>−OCH3>−CH2CH3
Hence, the correct order of stability is -
CH3−+CH−CH2−CH3>CH3−+CH−CH2−OCH3>CH3−+CH−O||C−CH3
