In RS KHURMI, he mentioned that ratio more den 80 is called Long columns and less den 80 is called Short Columns but he didn't mention about Medium columns.
If we go through theory books,
there they categorized less 32--short.
32-120--medium.
More than 120--long columns.

Slenderness ratio = Effective length / Radius of gyration

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.

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.

If the slenderness ratio of a column is lies between 32 to 120 than it is known as the medium column.
And S. R of a column is more than 120 than it is known as a long column.
And S. R of a column is more than 120 than it is known as a long column.

Le/r is called slenderness ratio. If it is > 120 it is called long beam. But mostly > 100 is preferred as long beam.

The values you are providing are for steel columns what if the question asks about RCC columns.
