The correct stability order for the following species is

The correct stability order for the following species is
  1. (II) $>$ (IV) $>$ (I) $>$ (III)
  2. (I) $>$ (II) $>$ (III) $>$ (IV)
  3. (II) $>$ (I) $>$ (IV) $>$ (III)
  4. (I) $>$ (III) $>$ (II) $>$ (IV)

Solution

I $>$ III $>$ II $>$ IV $+M$-effect, hyperconjugation $(6 \mathrm{Hs})$ and $+$ I-effect (2 Me groups) $+M$-effect, hyperconjugation ( $3 \mathrm{Hs}$ ) and $+I$-effect (1 Me group) $\overbrace{2^{\circ} \text { carbocation) }}^{+}$Hyperconjugation (5Hs) and +I-effect Hyperconjugation (2Hs) and $+I$ effect
