Given:

Width of the road = 350 metres

Time taken to cross the road = 70 seconds

Formula Used:

Speed (in km/h) = (Distance (in meters) / Time (in seconds)) × 18/5

Calculation:

Distance = 350 meters

Time = 70 seconds

Speed (in km/h) = (350 / 70) × 18/5

⇒ Speed (in km/h) = 5 × 18/5

⇒ Speed (in km/h) = 18 km/h

The correct answer is option 1.
