The increasing order of the reactivity of the following halides for the S N 1 reaction is

Solution
Rate of reaction is directly dependent on the stability of carbocation intermediate.
(II) is primary alkyl halide.
(I) is secondary alkyl halide.
Primary alkyl halide is less reactive towards reaction than secondary alkyl halide.
In (III), the carbocation generated is stabilised due to resonance. Hence, (III) is most reactive towards reaction.
