The correct answer is:
2 > 1 > 3
N is less electropositive than O, therefore, the H-bonds in the amine (1) are weaker than those in n-butyl alcohol. H-bonding is not possible in pentane (3). Here the boiling point order is as follows
(2) n-butyl alcohol > (1) n-butylamine > (3) pentane
(2) n-butyl alcohol > (1) n-butylamine > (3) pentane
