For rectangular column.

limit of eccentricity=z/a ,z=bd3/12*d/2.
A=b*d.
:For rectangular column, e=d/6.
For circular column, e=d/8(by z/A).

Answer shall be 1/3 of base.

E is the correct answer. I too agree.

Option E is correct, For rectangular section, the limit of eccentricity is " e <= b/6 or d/6 on either side of the centroid" and For Circular section, the limit of eccentricity is " e<= D/8 on either side of the centroid".

Refer RK Bansal.

1/6 is the correct answer for the rectangle.

For Rectangular section:
e<=b/3

And
e<=d/6 or h/6

For circular section
e<=d/8
So, the given answer is correct.

(b or d)/3 for rectangle.
R/4 for circle.
These regions refer to kern size or core size.

Answer should be (1/3) of base.

If applied load follows middle one by third rule then no tensile stresses are produced.

Check it out.

It is given range. So it will be 1/3 rd "Middle third rule".

Answer E. The Correct answer e<b/6.
