Correct Answer: 125 metres


Solution : Given:
A train can completely cross a 100-metre-long bridge in 15 seconds.
It can completely cross another 1300-metre-long bridge in 19 seconds.
Let the length of the train $x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{(100+x)}{15} = \frac{(1300+x)}{19}$
$\Rightarrow 19000+19x = 19500 + 15x$
$\Rightarrow 4x = 500$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{500}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x = 125 $ metres
Hence, the correct answer is 125 metres.
