Consider the following Statement-I : $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2$ is more basic than $\mathrm{NH}_3$ but $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2$ is less basic than $\mathrm{NH}_3$. Statement-II : The order of basic strength of amines in aqueous phase follows the order $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}>\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}>\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2$ The correct answer is

• A

  Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
• B

  Both statement-I and statement-II are not correct
• Correct answer
  C

  Statement-I is correct, but statement-II is not correct
• D

  Statement-I is not correct, but statement-II is correct

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
