1 No. of intermediates = 2
No. of Activated Complexes = 3
Rate determining Step = I  
2 No. of intermediates = 3
No. of Activated Complexes = 2
Rate determining Step = II  
3 No. of intermediates = 2
No. of Activated Complexes = 3
Rate determining Step = III  
4 No. of intermediates = 2
No. of Activated Complexes = 3
Rate determining Step = II  

Ans.

(4)

No. of intermediates = 2

No. of Activated Complexes = 3

Rate determining Step = II
