P=(Π^2*EI) /(c*L^2) here, for C1, c=1 and for C2, c=1/2
On putting these values in eqn P, ratio=1/2.
On putting these values in eqn P, ratio=1/2.

Option A is correct b/c critical load inversely proportional to the square of length.
For both end hinge Le=l.
For one end hinge and other fixed the Le=l/√2.
For both end hinge Le=l.
For one end hinge and other fixed the Le=l/√2.
