Among the following compounds, the increasing order of their basic strength is (II)<(I)<(IV)<(III)
(III) is most basic due to +I effect of −CH3 group attached to N. This increases electron density on N so that N can easily donate its lone pair of electrons to suitable acid.
(II) is least basic as the lone pair of electrons on N is part of pi electrons of aromatic ring. Donation of this lone pair of electrons will break the stability of the aromatic ring.
(I) is less basic than (IV) as the lone pair of electrons on N is in conjugation with aromatic ring.
