Q1:

The slenderness ratio of a column is zero when its length

A is zero

B is equal to its radius of gyration

C is supported on all sides throughout its length

D is between the points of zero moments.

ANS:C - is supported on all sides throughout its length

Slenderness ratio is the ratio of unsupported length of the column to the minimum radius of gyration of the cross-sectional ends of the column.
