MeNH 2 is the stronger base than MeOH because N is less electronegative than O, lone pair of electrons on N is more easily available for the donation in MeNH 2.

Q. Assertion (A) $M e N H_{2}$ is the weaker base than $M e O H$ .
Reason (R) $N$ is less electronegative than $O$ , lone pair of electrons on $N$ is more easily available for the donation in $M e N H_{2}$ .

Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$

$A$ is correct; $R$ is incorrect

$R$ is correct; $A$ is incorrect

$M e N H_{2}$ is the stronger base than MeOH because $N$ is less electronegative than $O$ , lone pair of electrons on $N$ is more easily available for the donation in $M e N H_{2}$ .
