JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2013 (Offline) - No. 7)

The order of stability of the following carbocations :

JEE Main 2013 (Offline) Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 213 English
$${\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I}$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I}$$
$${\rm I} > {\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I}$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} > {\rm I} > {\rm I}{\rm I}$$

Explanation

Higher stability of allyl and aryl substituted methyl carbocation is due to dispersal of positive charge by resonance.
