Detailed Solution

Osmotic pressure, π=i×MRT

Where, i = van't Hoff factor, M = Molarity 

R = gas constant, T = temperature

For 0.500 M C2H5OH (aq), i = 1, thus, 

πC2H5OH(aq)=0.5RT

For 0.100 M Mg3(PO4)2(aq),i=5

[Mg3(PO4)23Mg2++2PO43]

Thus, πMg3(PO4)2(aq)=5×0.1×RT

For 0.125 M Na3PO4(aq),i=4

[Na3PO43Na++PO43]

Thus, πNa3PO4(aq)=4×0.125×RT=0.5RT

Hence, all solutions have same osmotic pressure.
