pls answer with explaination!

Solution:-option2)
1>2>3
Reason:-
The elecrenegativity of I, Br and F is in the order
F>Br>I
so first compound,can attract more electrons ,Than second one and second can attract more electrons than third one
If I remember it correctly, answer will be 2>3>1
why, you may ask..
well we all know that negative inductive effect or the -i etfect order is as follows -F > -Cl > -Br > -I.
negative inductive effect increases acidity
so the order should have been 1 >2>3
but, halogens also have a positive resonance effect or mesomeric effect (+R or +M) also.
that is also -F > -Cl > -Br > -I. positive resonance effect decreases the acidic strength.
Inductive effect dominates here.
both -I effect and +R effect of Fluorine in high so they cancelnout each other giving parafluorophenol acid strength almost same as phenol (but greater than phenol)
