Given:

Length of train = 130 m

Speed of train = 45 km/hr

Time to cross = 30 sec

Formula used:

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Length of train + Length of bridge

Calculation:

Convert speed to m/sec: 45 km/hr = 45 × (1000/3600) m/sec

⇒ 45 × (5/18) m/sec

⇒ 225/18 m/sec

⇒ 12.5 m/sec

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 12.5 × 30 m

⇒ 375 m

Distance = Length of train + Length of bridge

⇒ 375 = 130 + Length of bridge

⇒ Length of bridge = 375 - 130

⇒ Length of bridge = 245 m

∴ The length of the bridge is 245 m.
