I. \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
II. \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}\)
III. \(\mathrm{NH}_3\)
IV. \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
V. \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{IV}>\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{V}>\mathrm{III}>\mathrm{II}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{II}>\mathrm{V}>\mathrm{IV}>\mathrm{III}>\mathrm{I}\)
