The correct answer is: 9.8 m
Here: Initial velocity $u=-4.9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ (- ve is due to vertically upward motion)
Total time $t=2 \mathrm{sec}$
The height of the bridge is given by
$s=u t+\frac{1}{2} g t^2$
$\begin{aligned} & =-4.9 \times 2+\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times(2)^2 \\ & =-9.8+19.6=9.8 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$
