.07 is the design value as per IRC but the question does not say e(design ) as per IRC.
So the value will be according to the formula i.e, v2/225r.

e = .75v^2÷gR.
= .75x34.72^2÷(9.81x450).
= 0.07 answer.
= .75x34.72^2÷(9.81x450).
= 0.07 answer.

For mixed traffic, super elevation can be calculated.
It should be V^2 / 225R.
Since this value is less than 0.07, the super elevation of 0.154 may be adopted.

The answer is 0.154 only because in the question he didn't asked as per IRC.
So as per IRC, it's is in between 7-10%.

According to me, its answer is = 0.07.
Because whenever we are designing super elevation the maximum elevation is restricted to 0.07.

The answer should be .07. because it is max super elevation.
