@All.

2.5^4÷12 /2.5 * 2.5 = 3.25 ÷ 6.25 = 0.52 this is the correct value.
So, 0.721 this value is wrong.

We Know that Slenderness Ratio is Equal to Length upon Radius of Gyration = L/r.
we have a value of L that is given in question 300.

So, now we need to calculate the value of r that is equal to under root I/A means r= under root I/A.

I Means Moment of Inertia, here for Square Section that is equal to a^4/12 and for A= a^4.
Now, you will get the answer 416.

Thank You.

Slenderness Ratio =Le/K,
K=√(I/A).

So,
Le=300,
K=√(2.5^4/12)/(2.5^2),
K=0.7216,
Le/K=300/0.7216,
Slenderness Ratio=415.69.
