    Given Data,
    Area of Steel = 1200 mm^2
    Area of COLUMN = 200x200 mm^2 = 40000 mm^2
    Area of Concrete = Area of Column - Area of steel
    = 40000 mm^2 - 1200 mm^2
    = 38800 mm^2
    Permissible stress in Concrete, σc = N/mm^2
    Relation given, ( Es = 15Ec )
    We Know,
    ( σc / Ec = σs / Es ) ------------------(i)

    Then, from eq. (i)
    σs = (σc x Es) / (Ec)
    = (5 x 15 Ec) / (Ec)
    = 75 N/mm^2

    Safe Load (Px) = ( Area of concrete x Perm. Stress in concrete ) + ( Area of Steel x Perm. Stress in Steel )
    = ( Ac x σc ) + ( As x σs )
    = ( 38800 x 5 ) + ( 1200 x 75 )
    = 284000 N
    = 284 MN

    Stress= load/ area,
    Stress in steel = load / area of steel and likewise same for concrete,

    Es= permissible stress in steel/ strain in steel and likewise same for concrete,
    strain in concrete and steel are same = permissible stress in steel/ Es= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec.

    Es= 15Ec.
    =permissible stress in steel= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec xEs =( 5 /Ec)x 15Ec= 75Mpa for steel.
    Load = permissible Stress in steel x area of steel +permissible stress in concrete x area of concrete.
    = 75 x 1200+ 5 x (200X200 -1200)= 284kN.

    safe load (P) =(As*sigma of steel ) + (Ac*sigma of concrete) this formulae answer will get
    sigma steel / sigma concrete = Es / Ec =15Ec / Ec =15
    sigma steel =5*15 = 75 N/mm square
    Ac =(200*200 - As)
    As = 1200 mm square
