$(i)$ Copper metal dissolves in $1 \ M$ silver nitrate solution and crystals of silver metal get deposited.
$(ii)$ Silver metal does not react with $1 \ M$ zinc nitrate solution.
$(iii)$ Zinc metal dissolves in $1 \ M$ copper sulphate solution and copper metal gets deposited.
Hence,the order of decreasing strength of the three metals as reducing agents will be:
