Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition with many reagents like HX, H_2O, HOCI etc. Except in the case of addition of X_2^(-) in other additions carbocation is formed as intermediate. The rate of such reactions depends on the stability of carbocation. Rearrangements and ring expansion are also common in such reactions. The correct order of reactivity of the following towards electrophilic addition is P) Vinyl chlorideQ) Pent-2-ene R) 3-methyl pent-2-eneS) 2,3-dimethyl but-2-ene
