AIEEE 2002 Chemistry - Periodic Table & Periodicity Question 131 English Explanation
Here Ce+3,Pm+3,Yb+3 are from lanthanide series.

La+3 atomic number is 57. This is a d block element but all the property of La is similar to lanthanides. It is present before Ce.

As we know in lanthanides the radius of elements decreases from left to right of periodic table.

So, order will be La+3>Ce+3>Pm+3>Yb+3
