    The correct order of increasing reactivity of C - X bond towards nucleophile in the following compounds is \[\underset{(\text{III})}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-X}}\,\]                \[\underset{(\text{IV})}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}CH-X}}\,\]

    A)  \[I<II<IV<III\]

    B)  \[III<II<IV<I\]

    C)  \[I<II<III<IV\]

    D)  \[III<IV<II<I\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    AlkyI halides are more reactive than aryl halides. Among alkyl halides, \[3{}^\circ \]alkyl halides (III) are more reactive than \[2{}^\circ \]alkyl halides. (IV) Among aryl halides, aryl halides having electron with dwawing\[-N{{O}_{2}}\]groups at\[o-\]and \[p-\]positions (i.e. II) are more reactive than simple aryl halides (I) thus, the overall reactivity increases in the order. \[I<II<IV<III\]
