Detailed Solution

  • Chlorobenzene is less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction due to the delocalization of the electrons of C-Cl bond and a partial double bond character develop in the bond which make it difficult for nucleophile to cleave C-Cl bond.
  • When Nitro group present at ortho and para position it withdraw electrons from benzene ring and helps to attack of Nucleophiles on haloarene.
  •  that's why Nucleophilic Substitution increases.
