Gamma of glass × lenght of glass = gamma of Mercury × length of Mercury And . 19 cm Ok any other questions

As level is same at all temperature so,
∆L of glass =∆L of mercury
We are given  gamma of both but for linear expansion we consider alpha
We know , gamma =3alpha
 
Let's apply
 
∆L(g)=∆L(Hg)
L * alpha(g)*∆T=L' * alpha(Hg)*∆T
 L*alpha(g)=L' * aplha(Hg)
133 * 3 * 2.6*10^-5 = L' *3*18.2*10^-5
L' = 19 cm
