Methoxy group being electron releasing group. It increases electron density of benzene nucleus while -NO2 group being electron withdrawing, decreases the electron density of benzene nucleus. Hence, order of reaction with electrophilic reagent is

Q. Among the following compounds (I - III), the correct order of reaction with electrophilic reagent is

II > III > I

III < I < II

I > II > III

I = II > III

Methoxy group being electron releasing group. It increases electron density of benzene nucleus while $- N O_{2}$ group being electron withdrawing, decreases the electron density of benzene nucleus. Hence, order of reaction with electrophilic reagent is
