    Give the stability of following carbocations.
    (I) \[C{{H}_{3}}-{{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}^{\oplus }}}}}\,}^{{}}}\] (II)
    (III)\[C{{H}_{3}}-{{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}^{\oplus }}}}}\,}^{{}}}\] (IV)\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\,-{{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}^{\oplus }}}}}\,}^{{}}}\]

    A)  IV > III > II > I                     

    B)  IV > III > I > II

    C)  I > II > III > IV                     

    D) I > III > II > IV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The stability is determined by hyperconjugation. More the number of a-hydrpgen atoms, more is the stability.
