From the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erg 

       The erg is a unit of energy and work equal to 10−7 joules. It originated in the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units. 
       It has the symbol erg. The erg is not an SI unit. The erg is a unit of energy and work equal to  joules. 
       It originated in the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units. It has the symbol erg. The erg is not an SI unit.


Kinetic energy of the body which has the mass "m" and the velocity "v" is E = .

Substitute the given data to get the kinetic energy value  E =  = 125 erg.
