Solution

Basic strength:- Amine basic strength is determined by availability of electron [lone pair] from nitrogen.
Increasing order of basic strength:-
$(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N H > (C_{2} H_{5})_{3} N > C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2} > C_{6} H_{5} N H_{2}$

$(C_{2} H_{5})_{3} N$ is less basic than $(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N H$ because of steric hindrance, electrons are less available from $(C_{2} H_{5})_{3} N$ than $(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N$
