Solution

10mL of 10% NaCl solution is added to 100mL of solution of gold.
Thus, 1mL of 10% NaCl solution has been added to 10mL solution of gold.
Since, 100mL gold solution required =0.25g starch
=0.25×103mg
So, 10mL gold solution required =0.25×103100×10
=25g starch
Thus, by definition, the gold number of starch is 25.
