The correct answer is: $1.77 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
Given, area of cross-section $\mathrm{A}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}^2$,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{n}=2 \times 10^{25} \mathrm{~m}^{-3} \text { charge, } \mathrm{q}=\left(3 \mathrm{t}^2+5 \mathrm{t}+2\right) \mathrm{C}, \\
& \mathrm{t}=2 \mathrm{~s}, \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}=? \\
& \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{neA}}=\frac{\mathrm{dq} / \mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{neA}}\left[\because \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{dq}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right] \\
& \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{dq}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dt}}\left(3 \mathrm{t}^2+5 \mathrm{t}+2\right)=6 \mathrm{t}+5=6 \times 2+5 \\
& =17 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{neA}}=\frac{17}{2 \times 10^{25} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.3} \\
& =\frac{17}{0.96 \times 10^6}=1.77 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
