What is the correct order of decreasing stability of the following cat

1.	What is the correct order of decreasing stability of the following cations? underset((I))(CH_(3)- overset(oplus)(C )H-CH_(3)) " "underset((II))(CH_(3) - overset(oplus)(C )H-OCH_(3)) " "underset((III))(CH_(3) - overset(oplus)(C )H-CH_(2)-OCH_(3))
Answer» `II GT I gt III` `II gt III gt I` `III gt I gt II` `I gt II gt III` Solution : Thus jthe stability of carbocation DECREASES in the ORDER: `(II) gt (I) gt (III)`
