JEE Main 2024 (Online) 31st January Evening Shift Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 59 English

B > C > A > D
B > A > C > D
D > C > B > A
A > B > C > D

Explanation

$$-\mathrm{CH}_3$$ shows $$+\mathrm{M}$$ and $$+\mathrm{I}$$.

$$-\mathrm{Cl}$$ shows $$+\mathrm{M}$$ and $$-\mathrm{I}$$ but inductive effect dominates.

$$-\mathrm{NO}_2$$ shows $$-\mathrm{M}$$ and $$-\mathrm{I}$$.

Electrophilic substitution $$\alpha \frac{1}{-\mathrm{M} \text { and }-\mathrm{I}}$$

$$\alpha+\mathrm{M} \text { and }+\mathrm{I}$$

Hence, order is $$\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{D}$$.
