Explanation:
Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic substitution reaction with several electrophiles.
Some substituted benzenes are more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution than unsubstituted benzene.
Certain groups of substituents increase the ease with which an aromatic compound undergoes aromatic substitution.
If we look at the compounds closely, we will notice that only toluene leads to easy reaction with CH3Cl / AlCl3. Thus is due to the +I inductive effect of -CH3 which stabilizes the negatively charged intermediate produced in the reaction.
