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

Answer is 'B' medium column.

Answer is wrong it should be medium.

Length of column to the least radius of gyration is greater than & equal to 100 is called as long column.

For steel if slenderness ratio > 80 then it is long column and then only Eulers formula can be applied. If slenderness ratio < 80 it is short column and Eulers formula can't be applied.

SR<50 short column.
SR>115 long column.
50<SR<115 medium column.
SR>115 long column.
50<SR<115 medium column.

SR UPTO 50 - SHORT.
SR 50 - 200 - MEDIUM.
SR MORE THAN 200 - LONG.
SR 50 - 200 - MEDIUM.
SR MORE THAN 200 - LONG.

SR < 32 SHORT.
SR 32-120 MEDIUM.
AND SR >120 LONG COLUMN.
SR 32-120 MEDIUM.
AND SR >120 LONG COLUMN.

It should be medium column. Because slenderness ratio is lying in 32 to 120.
