Plot it on semilog graph and find water contentbfor 25 blow.

Flow index = -(W2-W1) / ln(N1/N2).
From the given data, it comes out to be 50.

Water content at 25 blows gives you the liquid limit.
Just interpolate the given values for 25 blows. You get the answer as 65.

Simply take x= 0.068.
and WL = Wn (N÷25)^x .
WL = 70 (10÷25 )^0.068 = 68.77 approx 65.
and WL = Wn (N÷25)^x .
WL = 70 (10÷25 )^0.068 = 68.77 approx 65.

Answer 50% is correct.
W = - I log N + C.
W = water content , I = flow index, N= no of blow.
Put value of w & N for both 70% & 20%, then results will be, I=50 & C=120. Now w= -50*log 25 + 120 = 50.1.
W = - I log N + C.
W = water content , I = flow index, N= no of blow.
Put value of w & N for both 70% & 20%, then results will be, I=50 & C=120. Now w= -50*log 25 + 120 = 50.1.

Why should we take the liquid limit value at 25 blows only? If there any relation, please explain it.

By interpolating the value for 25 blows the moisture content will linearly decrease up to 61.7%. Hence my answer is 61.7.
