hyperconjugation is the number of hydrogens attached to the alpha-carbon atom
hence, in CH3CH2+ no. of hyperconjugation are 3
in (CH3)3C+ no. of hyperconjugation are 9
in CH3+ , no. of hyperconjugation are 0
so stability order is (CH3)3C+ > CH3CH2+ > CH3+
hence, in CH3CH2+ no. of hyperconjugation are 3
in (CH3)3C+ no. of hyperconjugation are 9
in CH3+ , no. of hyperconjugation are 0
so stability order is (CH3)3C+ > CH3CH2+ > CH3+
