24.6^@, rounded to one decimal place.

Explanation:

If banking angle is theta then we have the following expression connecting various variables
tan theta=v^2/(rg)
where v is the velocity of the vehicle, r is the radius of curvature and g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81ms^-2.

Inserting given values after converting speed to SI units, we get
tan theta=((108xx10^3)/3600)^2/(200xx9.81)=(30)^2/(200xx9.81)
=>tan theta=0.4587
=>theta=tan^-1 0.4587
=>theta=24.6^@, rounded to one decimal place.
