Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

The rate of SN1 is decided by the stability of carbocation formed in the rate determining step.

 

Carbocation (D) is most stable due to +R effect of CH30 group, (C) is stabilized by +I and +H effect of CH3 group; (B) is least stable due to –I effect of Me0 group. So increasing order of rate od sN1 is (B)<(A)<(C)<(D)
