saumya shukla reviw of short subjects second volume has given a list abt cranial nerves , here it is

trochlear(4th) nerve - longest intracranial course
- only nerve to emerge dorsally from the brain stem & most slender cranial nerve

abducent(6th)- MC nerve involved in raised ICT
trigemina(5th)- largest CN
vagus(10th)- has most extensive distribution and longest
facial(7th)- longest intraosseous course and most frequently paralysed cranial nerve
