Trying to install broadcom-wl driver with linux-lts. So i executed the command
pacman -S broadcom-wl
The above command is bring me the latest kernal (linux-4.17.6.1) dependency instead of linux lts. Please see below
vipin@vipin-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl

@WorMzy thanks for the reply. So i need to use broadcom-wl-dkms. Because it is kernel in depend. Please correct me if i am wrong

Yes use broadcom-wl with linux or broadcom-wl-dkms with any kernel package (API compatibility allowing) or build a custom broadcom-wl-lts package.

Install the linux headers package before installing the broadcom-wl-dkms driver. Which broadcom adapter do you have. Are you even sure the wl drivers are the correct drivers for your card. You have provided basically zero info.
