√25\√400=5/20=1/4
since 90000 = 2*45000 then √x/√400= 0.5(√25\√400) = 1/8
√x=20/8 =>5/2 => x=25/4= 6.25 grams of impurities
400-6.25= 393.75

What does fraction of impurities mean?

is it just impurities i.e 25 gms or fraction of total gold i.e 25/400

The language confused me and my calculation got very complicated :cry:
