35%
50%
65%

We can find the flow index 1st using.

I = (w1 - w2)/log(n2/n1) and then find the water content corresponding to the 25 blows using this flow index value.

Liquid Limit= W * (N/25)^0.121.

where,

W= water content at N blows.
N= no.of blows.

Liquid limit is defined as the moisture content at which a groove made in a pat of soil will flow through a distance of 13mm under an impact of 25 blows. Using linear interpolation with the help of flow curve we can get the above.
