Reactivity of chloride is proportional to the stability of carbocation formed.
Carbocation I is very stable because of its aromaticity. 
Carbocation III is also aromatic but less stable than I because delocalization is more in carbocation I. 
Carbocation II is least stable because it is antiaromatic. 
carbocation IV is more stable than carbocation V because carbocation IV is resonance stabilized.
