43.
The region of the cross-section of a column in which compressive load may be applied without producing any tensile stress, is known as the core of the cross-section. In circular columns the radius of the core, is
one-half of the radius
one-third of the radius
one-quarter of the radius
one-fifth of the radius
one-sixth of the radius.

D/4 is the diameter of the core.
D= 2R
=> 2R/4
= R/2.

So, A is the answer.

Should be 1/2 of radius.

e<Z/A
Z= π/32 * D^3.
A= π/4 * D^2.

e<= D/8-radius.
Dia D/4.
