Moisture content 10 blows 20%.
Moisture content 100 blows 70%.
Answer is 65%.

Interpolation technique is very simple & easily understand to solve this..

How it will be 70 * (10/25)^.121 = 89.58?

We can also use w(n/25)^0,21.

Since liquid limit is limit corresponding to 25 nos of blow. Hence by solving it through interpolation I am getting 61.66%. By which the answer should be D Option.

Am I right?

Please tell me, why we have to give 25 blows for to find the liquid limit of soil?

Why the graph is a straight line only?

I think the one point method is not valid rather not necessary because two points are given for example.

Why all of them are taking the difference between liquid limit for 10 and 100 Nos of blows?

Wrong answer.

By linear interpolation, for blows 25 find L L.

L. L = 61%.
