उत्तर
When HCN reacts with a compound, the attacking species is a CN− nucleophile. Therefore, as the negative charge on the compound increases, its reactivity with HCN decreases. In the given compounds, the +I effect increases as shown below. It can be observed that steric hindrance also increases.

Hence, the given compounds can be arranged according to their increasing reactivities toward HCN as:
Di-tert-butyl ketone < Methyl tert-butyl ketone < Acetone < Acetaldehyde
