Solution:

If the alkyl group is bigger than group, there is steric hindrance to H-bonding and hence effect predomtextnates over H-bonding. . There is an important role of the inductive effect, solvation effect and steric hindrance of alkyl group, which decides the basic strength of alkyl amine in the aqueous state.
