This is medium column.

@Vinod.

Your answer is correct. It is long column.

Euler's formula holds good only for LONG COLUMNS.

And also applicable for a column having the Slenderness ratio > 80.

So, 100 > 80. I.e., the answer is a long column.

30 to 120 slenderness ratio is medium column.

I think slenderness ratio for the long column should be greater than 50.

Many of you giving lots of different answers. Can you tell which was the perfect and more than accurate for this, I have an urgency to know the answer, please tell me.

Answer is 'B' medium column.

Below 80. Short.

Above 80. Long.

The exact one is short not to exceed - 50 and medium - 50 to 120 and long should be above 200 so the question is wrong.
