| (I) |  |
| (II) |  |
| (III) |  |

उत्तर
After the attachment of the nucleophile at the carbon carrying -Cl, the intermediate compound is stabilised due to resonance. Due to electron-withdrawing nature of-NO2, the nucleophile is easily attached to the benzene ring. Greater the number of -NO2 groups in the molecule, greater will be the ease with which the nucleophile will be attached. Hence, the order of reactivity is III > II > I.
