Solution:

Aromatic or aryl ring provides more stable carbonium ion, while aliphatic alkyi groups provides less stability due to +1 effect of alkyl group. Generally stability of carbonium ion decreases in the following order. Triphenyl methyl carbonium > diphenyl methyl carbonium > benzyl carbonium > allyl carbonium > tertiary carbonium > secondary carbonium > primary carbonium > ethyl carbonium.
