Solution

70% racemisation will be due to $S_{N} 1$ pathway, in which 35% will constitute the back side attack. 30% back side attack would be due to $S_{N} 2$ reaction. So total back side attack = 35 + 30 = 65%

70% racemisation will be due to SN1 pathway, in which 35% will constitute the back side attack. 30% back side attack would be due to SN2 reaction. So total back side attack = 35 + 30 = 65%
