S.R=Equivalent length of column or unsupported length/least radius of gyration
=Le/k,
=Le/√(I/A).
√[I/A] =root[(2.5/12)*(1/2.5)],
=0.72168783654321698610321.

S.R=300/0.72168783654321698610321.
S.R=415.6921938=415. 69=416.

Slenderness ratio : L/√bh*3/12/area.

S.R =eff. length/radius of gyration.
=l/k.

K= √ Imin/A.
Imin=bd^3/12=2.5*2.5^3/12=3.25.
A=2.5*2.5=6.25,
=√3.25/6.25 =0.721.
S.R=300/0.721 =416.08.

Effec length =300,
Radius of gyration=((a^4/12)/a^2),
S.R=effec. length/radius of gyration (ans: 415.69)

I = A * r.
2.5^4/12=2.5 * 2.5 * r.

r = 0.72168.

Now slenderness ratio= l/r.
= 300/0.72168.
= 415.74.
So answer is correct.

Thanks all for explaining.

According to me, Slenderness ratio is kl/b. where k is length factor, l is the length of column and b is the width.

Let us suppose k = 1 (pin jointed both sides).

Slenderness ratio = 1*300/2.5 = 120.

How could answer be 416?

Slenderness ratio = effective length/radius of gyration.
Radius of gyration = under root of i/a,
i = moment of inertia and a =cross sectionl area. i=2.5^4/12= and a = 2.5^2.
So radius of gyration = 0.721.
Soslenderness ratio=300/0.721 = 416.088.

Slenderness ratio = left/rmin.

Rmin=I/A for square section a/2*√3=2.5/2√3 = 0.72 leff = 300cm then slenderness is;
= 300/0.72= 416.67ans.
