In my view the order could be as follows:
1>2>3>4.
The reason may that the ring 1 is the most reactive because the angle in 1 is 60 but tha carbons want 109.5.So it will react more easily.And likewise you can understand the other things.
I may not be right.

i too think the same.. in fact but if the ring does not open then how will ring strain affect the attack???

Whether the ring breaks or not,it does not matter.But as propyl is more reactive it will be attacked very easily.This is my view.
