Q. The basicity of the cyclohexylamine is more than that of aniline because of

Solution:

$ -N{{H}_{2}} $ has $ +R $ -effect, it donates electrons to the benzene ring. As a result, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom get delocalised over the benzene ring and less available for protonation. Thats why cyclohexylamine is more basic than aniline.
