9% of a soil is retained on No. 4 sieve, and 11% passes the No. 200 sieve. It is also known that 10%, 30%, and 60% of the soil is smaller than 0.1 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.9 mm, respectively. When Atterberg limit tests are conducted, it is found that the liquid limit is 32 and the plastic limit is 27. Classify this soil according to the Unified soil classification system and give the group symbol and group name.
