C Correct answer
Explanation

Total distance = 300m + 200m = 500m. Speed = 25 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 500 / 25 = 20 seconds.

AI explanation

Calculate the total distance to cross the bridge as the sum of the train length and the bridge length, giving 300 m plus 200 m equals 500 m. Apply the time formula by dividing the total distance by the speed of 25 m/s. Dividing 500 by 25 results in 20. It will cross the bridge in 20 seconds.
