Considering both I effect and H-bonding we can get the result that diethyl amine is most basic in aqueous solution. Then the I effect is considered for ethyl group & due to this triethyl amine is next to diethyl amine.So the least basic is ethyl amine. Hence the order of basicity in aqueous solution is diethyl amine>triethyl amine>ethyl amine.Please approve my answer if I am not wrong...
