CBSEENCH11008408

Base strength of 

1. space straight H subscript 3 straight C straight C with minus on top straight H subscript 2
2. space straight H subscript 2 straight C equals straight C with minus on top straight H
3. space straight H minus space straight C identical to straight C with minus on top

is in the order of 

  • (2) > (1) > (3)

  • (3) > (2) > (1) 

  • (1) > (3)> (2) 

  • (1) > (2) > (3)

Solution

D.

(1) > (2) > (3)

Stronger the acid, weaker is its conjugate base. 
The strength of their conjugate acids are in the order: 
HC space identical to CH space greater than thin space straight H subscript 2 straight C space equals CH subscript 2 space greater than thin space CH subscript 3 minus CH subscript 3
Therefore, the correct order of strength of their conjugate base is: 
CH subscript 3 CH subscript 2 to the power of minus greater than thin space straight H subscript 2 straight C space equals straight C to the power of minus straight H space greater than thin space HC identical to straight C to the power of minus
