The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is:
200 m
225 m
245 m
250 m
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 45 x 5 m/sec = 25 m/sec.
18 2

Time = 30 sec.

Let the length of bridge be x metres.

Then, 130 + x = 25
30 2

2(130 + x) = 750

x = 245 m.

45 * (5÷18) = (Lb +130)/30.
Lb = 245 m.

It's simple one.

The train goes on a speed of 12.5 m/sec (45km/hr). So it crosses 375m in 30 sec.

Simply, 375 m - length of the train (130 m) =245 m (length of the bridge) => answer.
