@Ubaithullah

BP required = cl2 dosge/ % Cl2 in BP.
0.5/25% = (0.5/25) * 100 = 2 mg/lit.

Total BP in kg = 15000 * 10 3 * 2 * 10^-6 = 30 kg.

And @Joysen.

It will be 10^-6. Because to convert mg to kg we need to multiply it with 10^-6.

0.5 x 15000 = 7500/1000 kg.
7.5 x 4 = 30 kg.

@Ubaithullah.

Why you multiplied with 10^-6, it should be 10^-3 right?

BP required = cl2 dosge/ % Cl2 in BP.
0.5/25% = 0.2 mg /lit.

Total BP in kg = 15000 * 10 3 * 0.2 * 10^-6 = 30 kg.
