Solution
The correct option is A(III)>(IV)>(II)>(I) In the given amines III is strongest base as the lone pairs of nitrogens with one double bond are electron negative and in conjugation, therefore, increases the electron density. In IV the presence of +I effect of alkyl group increases its basicity. Cyclohexylamine is weak base as there is no additional effects but in the compound, I presence of two nitro groups (−Meffect) makes the amine electron-deficient and least basic.
