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.

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

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.

Slenderness ratio for long column:- More than 120.

Slenderness ratio for Medium column:- Slenderness ratio lies between 32 to 120.

Slenderness ratio for short column:- Less than 32.
