Since the Rankine formulae is a combination of the Euler and crushing load for a strut.
For a very short strut Pe is very large hence 1/ Pe would be large so that 1/ Pe can be neglected.
Thus PR = Pc, for very large struts, Pe is very small so 1/ Pe would be large and 1/ P c can be neglected, hence PR = Pe
The Rankine formulae is therefore valid for extreme values of 1/k. It is also found to be fairly accurate for the intermediate values in the range under consideration.

Rankine is valid for short column and long column and also valid for intermediate column.

It should be applicable to long and short column both, why option D?

Rankine-Gordon's empirical formula is known as Rankine's formula.
