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

50 % is the correct answer, interpolation is a wrong method.

By interpolation with 25 we get the correct answer as 61.67.

By interpolation wL = 61.67.
By flow index method wL= 50.
By flow index method wL= 50.

You cannot use interpolation because it is semilog graph.

Why we say liquid limit at 25 blows? What is the reason?

How do you get 89.55 by this formula?
= W*(N/25)^0.121.
= W*(N/25)^0.121.

Try it with coordinate geometry.
My answer is 63.33%.
My answer is 63.33%.

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