By taking interpolation,
Find value at 25 blows.
And answer is 61.66%.

(W1-w2)log (n2/n1).
(70-20) log 100/10.
50 per Answer.

How do you get 89.55 by this formula?

= W*(N/25)^0.121.

Ranjan said:   8 years ago
50 % is the correct answer, interpolation is a wrong method.

NARENDRA KATARA said:   8 years ago
Answer is 50.

For a particular soil, slope does not change in flow index curve to determine the liquid limit for a soil. In this question flow index is also 50 and put this 50 value equal to formula and find the liquid limit for given data.
