MHT CET 2025 Chemistry question

Identify correct decreasing order of basic strength of amines from following

(A)
(B)Correct
(C)
(D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

In aqueous solution the basic strength of alkylamines depends on both the effect of alkyl groups (increases electron density on N) and the stability of the conjugate acid by solvation (H-bonding with water), which decreases with the number of N-H bonds. For methyl-substituted amines, the combined effect gives the
