3. That looks like the same question as two I can't quite see it.
A direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other. In other words, a direct variation is where

.
In answer a,

, so it is a direct variation.
In answer c,

, so it is a direct variation.
In answer d,

, so it is a direct variation,
Only answer b is left, which means the answer must be 'b'.
We also know 'b' is the answer because it cannot be expressed as <span>

. Instead, it is expressed as </span>

, which is not the same thing and is therefore not a direct variation.
Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
In fact, this problem belongs to the chemistry section. Recall that many other sciences require mathematical calculations. The problem will belong to Mathematics only if no knowledge of other sciences are required to solve the problem.
Solubility for the given substances is measured in grams per 100 g of water at a particular temperature (20 deg.C).
This means that the mass (assumed to be the solute) will not change the solubility, just the minimum quantity of solvent (water) will.
Thus the solubility of sodium chloride will remain L=36 g/100g H2O for any quantity of solute. Similarly, the solubility of lead nitrate will remain as K=54 g/100 g H2O.
The reason that they remain constant is because the quantity of solvent (water) is fixed at 100 g. Varying amount of solute will affect the quantity of solvent required, but not the solubility.
I'll leave it to you to calculate the difference between K & L.
Do you have another picture?
