The order of stability of the following carbocations:
(I) \(CH_2 = CH - \overset{+}{C}H_2\)
(II) \(CH_3 - CH_2 - \overset{+}{C}H_2\)
(III) figure.png
(IV) \(\overset{+}{C}H_3\) is
(a) IV > III > II > I
(b) II > III > I > IV

Correct answer: (c) III > I > II > IV
Explanation:
Higher stability of allyl and aryl substituted methyl carbocation is due to dispersal of positive charge due to resonance
Hence the correct order of stability will be
