Given:
M = log I/S

M = magnitude
I = intensity of the earthquake
S = intensity of the standard earthquake

The minimum intensity of a standard earthquake is 10.
Intensity of the earthquake is 35 times the standard earthquake. So,
10 x 35 = 350

M = log 350/10
M = log 35
M = 1.544 or 1.5  Third option
