Raj was asked to treat the soil with quick lime bzoc his soil must be too much acidic. He needed to treat it with base - quick lime(calcium oxide). Base will neutralize the effect of high acids.
On the other hand Tom's field must be too basic that he needed to treat it with organic manure. As organic manure releases acids. It will neatralize the effect of excessive base.
Hope it helps
