The order of basic strength of methyl substituted amines and $NH_3$ in aqueous solution is

$Benzamide$ $\xrightarrow{Br_2 / NaOH} X$ $\xrightarrow[\text{alc. } KOH]{CHCl_3} Y$
The conversion of $X$ to $Y$ is

Aniline reacts with mixed acid (conc. $HNO_3$ and conc. $H_2SO_4$) at $288 \ K$ to give $P$ $(51 \%)$,$Q$ $(47 \%)$ and $R$ $(2 \%)$. The major product$(s)$ of the following reaction sequence is (are):
$R$ $\xrightarrow[2) Br_2, CH_3CO_2H]{1) Ac_2O, \text{pyridine}}$ $\xrightarrow{3) H_3O^+}$ $\xrightarrow{4) NaNO_2, HCl / 273-278 \ K}$ $\xrightarrow{5) EtOH, \Delta}$ $\xrightarrow{6) Sn/HCl}$ $\xrightarrow{7) Br_2/H_2O \text{ (excess)}} \text{Major Product}$

The major product $Z$ obtained in the following reaction scheme is
