C is the correct option.

Riyas said:   5 years ago
Question asked about crippling load. It is inversely promotional to square of effective length. So the correct answer is 4 times.

DEEPAK SHARMA said:   6 years ago
Yes, the correct answer is 2 times and not 4 times.

Karthik raja said:   7 years ago
The correct answer is two times.

One and fixed other end hinged.

Mahesh Dhone said:   9 years ago
Both end fixed L = l/2 and Load = pi^2 * E * I/((l/2)^2),
Both end Hinged L = l and Load = pi^2 * E * I/(l^2),

one Fixed another Hinged L = l/Root 2,
one end fixed another free L = 2 * l.
