-OCH3 group is an activating group with +I effect whereas -Cl and -NO2 are groups due to their -I and -M effect. CH3 is electron donating group while Cl and NO2 are electron withdrawing group. The presence of electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density in the benzene ring making it more favourable for nucleophile attack whereas the presence of electron donating group favours electrophile attack. Hence the correct order is methoxy benzene>chlorobenzene>nitrobenzene. read less
