2 (A), (B), (C) and (D)  
3 (B), (C) and (D) only  
4 (A), (C) and (D) only  

Ans.

(2)

Reactivity of SN21Steric crowding(1°>2°>3°) halide

Reactivity of SN1 Stability of carbocation (Benzyl cation>1°-cation)

Reactivity of electrophilic substitution reaction  Electron density. (-Cl is more electron donating group, while -NO2 is electron withdrawing group)

Reactivity of nucleophilic substitution reaction 1Electron density

-I effect group creates more reactive site for nucleophile.

-I effect of NO2>-I effect of Br
