Electrophiles are electron deficient species, so they want a nucleophile which donates electrons to them. The higher the electron density on a benzene ring, the higher is the reactivity towards electrophile.
NO_{2} is an electron withdrawing group, it deactivates the benzene ring towards electrophile by decreasing the electron density from the ring.
Decreasing order of their reactivity with an electrophile(E^+)
Chlorobenzene > p-nitrochlorobenzene > 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene
