It is known that,
$K_{b}=\frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}}$
Given $K_{a}$ of $HF =6.8 \times 10^{-4}$
Hence, $K_{b}$ of its conjugate base $F^{-}$
$=\frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}}$
$=\frac{10^{-14}}{6.8 \times 10^{-4}}$
$=1.5 \times 10^{-11}$
Given,
$K_{a}$ of $HCOOH =1.8 \times 10^{-4}$
Hence, $K_{b}$ of its conjugate base $HCOO ^{-}$
$=\frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}}$
$=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.8 \times 10^{-4}}$
$=5.6 \times 10^{-11}$
Given,
$K_{a}$ of $HCN =4.8 \times 10^{-9}$
Hence, $K_{b}$ of its conjugate base $CN ^{-}$
$=\frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}}$
$=\frac{10^{-14}}{4.8 \times 10^{-9}}$
$=2.08 \times 10^{-6}$
