Answer ::

In CH3– NH2, the +l effect of methyl group increases the electron density around N atom and it increases the electron releasing tendency of the molecule. In C6H5 – NH2 the resonance effect causes delocalisation of lone pair over the ring and thereby decreases its basic strength. Since aniline is less basic than methylamine, its pKb value is greater than that of CH3NH2.
