    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

     

    Speed =   \([45 * \frac { 5 } { 18 } ]\)   m/sec = \([\frac { 25 } { 2 } ]\)   m/sec.
       

     

    Time = 30 sec.

     

    Let the length of bridge be x metres.

     

    Then, \(\frac { 130+ X } { 30 } \)   \(\frac { 25 } { 2 }\)  
       

     

     2(130 + x) = 750

     

     x = 245 m.
