The ratio of effective length to the least radius of gyration is called the slenderness ratio of the column.

For-medium size column:- their slenderness ratio lying between 32-120.
For-long column:- their slenderness ratio more than 120.
For-long column:- their slenderness ratio more than 120.

The answer depends on the material of the column. Generally, for structural steel, the column is considered to be 'short' for slenderness ratios (SR) < 40 , 'intermediate' for 40 < SR < 150 and 'long' when SR > 150. A short column fails in compression while a long column fails in buckling. The intermediate column falls between the two.

The right answer is medium column. Because it is lied between 50 to 200.

@Abhinav yadav said that for long column slenderness ratio more than 120 but question is if slenderness ratio for a column is 100 then answer would be a medium column. Is it yes or no.

S.R is <32 --> Short Column,
S.R is 32-120--> Medium,
S.R is >120 --> Long,
So, the answer should be medium column.
S.R is 32-120--> Medium,
S.R is >120 --> Long,
So, the answer should be medium column.

S.R IS LESS THAN 32 - SHORT COLUMN.
S.R IS 32-100 THAN - MEDIUM COLUMN.
S.R IS GREATER THAN 100 - LONG COLUMN.
S.R IS 32-100 THAN - MEDIUM COLUMN.
S.R IS GREATER THAN 100 - LONG COLUMN.

SR<50 SHORT COLUMN.
SR>120 LONG COLUMN.
50<SR<120 MEDIUM COLUMN.
SR>120 LONG COLUMN.
50<SR<120 MEDIUM COLUMN.

A short steel column is one whose slenderness ratio does not exceed 50; an intermediate length steel column has a slenderness ratio ranging from about 50 to 200, and are dominated by the strength limit of the material, while a long steel column may be assumed to have a slenderness ratio greater than 200 and its behavior is dominated by the modulus of elasticity of the material.

FOR SHORT COLUMN SR < 45.
AND FOR LONG COLUMN SR > 45.
AND FOR LONG COLUMN SR > 45.
