In the mentioned structures H - will get added to the carbon having slight positive charge. Presence of C l increases the positive charge whereas an electron donating group like N H 2 decreases the tendency. Rate of reaction ∝ - M or - I group Rate of reaction ∝ 1 + M and 1 + I Hence, the correct order will be:
