Solution

Strong bases is compound that ionizes completely to give large amount of $O H^{-}$ ions in aqueous solution. Weak bases is compound that do not ionize completely and gives few $O H^{-}$ ions in aqueous solution.
Here, $N H_{4} O H \Rightarrow$ Weak base.
$C a (O H)_{2}, N a O H, K O H \Rightarrow$ Strong base
