Solution

The maximum slenderness ratio of a compression member carrying both dead and superimposed load is 180. So, the correct answer is d.180.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The slenderness ratio is a measure of the effectiveness of a column to carry axial loads. The smaller the slenderness ratio, the more efficient the column is at carrying the load.

  2. The slenderness ratio is calculated by dividing the effective length of the column by the radius of gyration of its cross-section.

  3. The maximum slenderness ratio for columns carrying both dead and superimposed loads is given by the code of practice for general construction in steel (IS 800:2007). According to this code, the maximum slenderness ratio is 180.

  4. Therefore, the correct answer is d.180.
