Solution

The correct option is A less for member M than that of member N
As per is 800 : 2007

Maximum slenderness ratio for a tension member in which a reversal of direct stress due to loads other than wind or seismic forces occurs = 180

Maximum slenderness ratio for a member normally acting as a tie in a roof truss or a bracing system but subjected to possible reversal of stresses resulting from the action of the wind or earthquake forces = 350
