MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

The ionisation constant of an acid, $K_a$ is the measure of strength of an acid. The $K_a$ values of acetic acid, hypochlorous acid and formic acid are $1.74 \times 10^{-5}, 3.0 \times 10^{-8}$ and $1.8 \times 10^{-4}$ respectively. Which of the following orders of pH of $0.1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}$ solutions of these acids is correct?
