The cross-section of the reinforced concrete beam having an effective depth of $500 \mathrm{~mm}$ is shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The grades of concrete and steel used are $\mathrm{M} 35$ and Fe550, respectively. The area of tension reinforcement is $400 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$. It is given that corresponding to $0.2 \%$ proof stress, the material safety factor is 1.15 and the yield strain of Fe 550 steel is 0.0044 .

As per IS $456: 2000,$ the limiting depth (in $\mathrm{mm},$ round off to the nearest integer $)$ of the neutral axis measured from the extreme compression fiber, is
