Mol wt of urea = 60.

So 60 gm of urea contains 28 gm of nitrogen.

So % of nitrogen in 100% urea = 28/60*100.

100% urea contains 46.67% of Nitrogen.

Actual % of nitrogen is 42%.

So % of urea = 42/46.67*100.

= 90%.

60 grams of urea = 2*14 grams of nitrogen.
? = 42 grams of nitrogen.

Actual content of urea is = 60*42/28=90.

Assume total content is 100.
