How can we decide the acidity aqnd reactivity of substituted benzene ring ? Some people told me to compare pka values of conjugate bases and some solve problem by electromeric effects at different positions and I am totally confused..please help me out with a SYSTEMATIC method to solve such problem.

To decide the acidity check the substituents nature that is if the subtituent shows +R effect or -R effect or +M or -M.
For acidity the grou must show -I and -M effect.
And for the reactivity the least stable compund would be more reactive.
