Q. The stability of carbanion image follows the order

KVPYKVPY 2017

Solution:

Among the given carbanions compound $IV$ has maximum stability as it is resonance stabilised, i.e.
image
Among the other given carbanions, stability order of carbanion decreases as we move from $1^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$ anion because of $+I$ effect of methyl groups. There is an increased intensity of negative charge on central carbon of $3^{\circ}$ carbanion which further makes it unstable. Thus, the correct increasing order is
