Because the slenderness ratio related with constant 12 is for RCC column and 40 is for steel column.

I think this answer is wrong.

If slenderness ratio is >12 then it is long column & <12 is short column.

Long column (l/b) > 12 or (l/r) > 40.

Where,

l = Effective length.
r = Radius of gyration.
b = Least dimension.

l/r is slenderness ration and it should be > 40. So 50 is the answer.

Everyone is confused with slenderness ratio and ratio of effective length to least lateral dimension.

You should know that both are not same. Slenderness ratio is the ratio of effective length to the radius of gyration.
