Dear Student electron pushing group will increase the electron density and maximum at the ortho and para position. So these position will be stabler than meta because of faster rate of formation and this will give you a product with a faster rate when some electrophilic group will attack. So ortho and para position shall stabilize by electron pushing group. Pramod Kumar IIT Alumni
