Slenderness ratio 50 is for steel column not for RCC column.

For steel column:
Short <50.
Intermediate<50-200.
Long<>200.

For RCC column:
Short- less than or equal to 12.
Long - >12.

For timber column:
Short- less than or equal to 10.
Long- >10.

According to IS 456-2000 if slenderness ratio is less than 40 then it is a short column.

Ans is correct as per IS 456-1978.

As per IS 456-2000 it is less than 80.

Yes, D is the correct answer. I agree.

Short steel column is one whose slenderness ratio does not exceed 50; an intermediate length steel column has a slenderness ratio ranging from about 50 to 200, and its behavior is dominated by the strength limit of the material, while a long steel column may be assumed to have a slenderness ratio greater than 200.

I think 30 is the right answer.

As per Is:456 clause 25.3 answer is 60.

If slenderness ratio<30, then its short column.

If its>30 but <120, then its medium column.

And if its >120, then its long column.
