Solution

Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H−bonds with water. And therefore it is soluble in water. But aniline does not form H−bond with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic $C_{6} H_{5}$ group. Hence,aniline is insoluble in water.
Both the statements are correct.
