General Organic Chemistry mcq question image

A. I > III > II  
B. III > II > I
C. II > III > I
D. All are equally soluble
Answer :   I > III > II
Solution :
Higher the electron density on $$O,$$  stronger is the $$H$$ - bond with water and thus more is the solubility. Thus solubility of the three ethers follow the order
