Question

In a liquid limit test on a fine-grained soil, using the Casagrande apparatus, the following results were recorded:

Test #	1	2	3	4
Number of blows	50	36	24	15
Container number	J11	F12	C20	C2
Wet soil + container	90	92	91	91
Dry soil + container	79	82	83	87
Container mass	82.00	81.00	83.00	82.00
dry soil
moisture loss
Moisture content, w%

If the plastic limit on the same soil was found to be 25%, determine the liquid limit and plasticity index of the soil.
