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.

The answer is correct.

e<= d/8,
e<=2r/8,
e<=r/4.

That is one- quarter of the radius.

Ans is correct.

e<=z/A. Where z = (π*d^4/64+π*d^4/64)*2/d.
Because z = Izz perpendicular to the surface.
And A= π*d^4/4.
So, z/A= d/4.

Dia of core section = d/4 or r/8.

Radius of core section = d/2 or r/4.
