[JEE(Main)-2018]

Ans. (2)
Order of base nature depends on electron donation tendency.
In compound
nitrogen is sp2 hybridized so least basic among all given compound.
compound
is very strong nitrogeneous organic base as lone pair of one nitrogen
delocalize in resonance and make another nitrogen negativly charged and conjugate acid have
two equivalent resonating structure.
Thus it is most basic in given compouds.
(secondary amine) more basic than
(primary amine)

the strategy of questions without visibility of direct anwers there is so.....good,but it would be still better if remaining questions are added to this list

all questions are not available.it would be better for the students if you add remaining questions also
There are little errors in your solutions please scheck it
