Solution:-

(A) $C_2{H}_5-\stackrel{\underset{|}{C_2{H}_5}}{N}-C{H}_3$

In the above compound, the amine group is attached to the parent chain of $2$ carbon atoms and a methyl and ethyl group is attached to $N$-atom of the amine group, thus the IUPAC name of the given compound is $N$-ethyl-$N$-methyl ethan-$1$-amine.

(B) $C_2{H}_5-\stackrel{\underset{|}{C_2{H}_5}}{N}-C_2{H}_5$

In the above compound, the amine group is attached to the parent chain of $2$ carbon atoms and a methyl and ethyl group is attached to $N$-atom of the amine group, thus the IUPAC name of the given compound is $N,N$-diethyl ethan-$1$-amine.
