    Remember that decreasing pKb values can be alternatively said to be increasing pKa values (or decreasing acidity). Now, the groups attached to the first three molecules are e- withdrawing in nature and not electron donating (due to +ve charge) and thus they increase the acidity. Now since N is more electronegative followed by P ans As it withdraws electron density more strongly that others. ( Note: there will be no effect whether the substituent is located at meta or para positions as there is no possibility of electron de-localisation). Since there is no any electron withdrawing substituent in molecule(iv) so it is least acidic. Thus order of 'decreasing acidity' or 'increasing pKa values' or ' decreasing pKb values' is : (i) > (iii) > (ii) > (iv)
