  1. l/sqrt(2)

  2. l/2

  3. l

  4. 2l

B Correct answer
Explanation

According to Euler's column theory, when both ends of a column are fixed, the effective length is L/2. This reduced effective length increases the buckling load compared to other end conditions. Options A, C, and D correspond to different end condition combinations.
