a)
there can be two solutions depending on whether we can divide the tablet into small bits to make exactly 25mg or not.
Assuming we can divide the tablet:
every 6 hours 100 patient takes 25mg.
in a day there are 24 hours, every 6 hours means = 24/6 = 4 dose per day.
in a week number of doses = 4*7 = 28
if taking exact 25mg, and we have each tablet of 12.1 mg = 28*25/12.1 = 57.85 = 58 tablets
if dividing the tablet is not allowed:
total 28 doses, two tablets make = 12.1+12.1 = 24.2 mg
hence in each dose 2 tablets = 28*2 = 56 tablets.
b)
liquid can be easily measured and taken in required quantities:
12.1mg/5 ml
ml required for 25 mg = 25*5/12.1 = 10.33 ml
again 28 doses in a week = 28*10.33 = 289.24 ml
