The strength of a solid shaft in torsion is given by,
T(solid shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^3).
T(hollow shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^4-d^4)/D.
On solving we get 15/16.
T(solid shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^3).
T(hollow shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^4-d^4)/D.
On solving we get 15/16.

max stress = Tymax/Ip; where Ip = polar moment of inertia.
ymax = D/2.
max stress(solid) = 16T/piD^3.
max stress(hollow) = 32T(D/2)/pi(D^4-d^4).
Replacing d = D/2.
The ratio we get is 15/16.
ymax = D/2.
max stress(solid) = 16T/piD^3.
max stress(hollow) = 32T(D/2)/pi(D^4-d^4).
Replacing d = D/2.
The ratio we get is 15/16.

Polar modulus is a measure of strength of a shaft in a torsion.
So, simply calculate the ratios of polar modulus of solid to hollow shafts.
Polar modulus = Polar moment of inertia/Radius of shaft.
So, simply calculate the ratios of polar modulus of solid to hollow shafts.
Polar modulus = Polar moment of inertia/Radius of shaft.

Dia of solid shaft = D.
DIA OF HOLLOW SHAFT = d/2.
The ratio of solid shaft = 16.
The ratio of hollow shaft = 15.
Total tension in shafts = 15/16.
DIA OF HOLLOW SHAFT = d/2.
The ratio of solid shaft = 16.
The ratio of hollow shaft = 15.
Total tension in shafts = 15/16.

The maximum stress due to torsion in solid shaft is 16T/d3.
The maximum stress due to torsion in solid shaft is 16x16T/15d3.
Therefore ratio maximum stress of solid shaft to hollow shaft is simply: 15/16.
Torsional Equation:
T/J = s/R = G0/l.

Ratio will be 16/15.
Simply if equal outer diameter then solid shaft will be more strong. But if material are same then hollow shaft will be more strong.

As @Pradhyumna said earlier that polar moment of inertia(J) decide the strength of the member.
J for solid section = D^4 and for Hallow section = inner D^4-outer D^4.
i.e D^4-(D/2)^4 = 15/16D^4. So the ratio is 15/16.

Zp(solid)/Zp(hollow) = (pi*D^3/16)/(pi*(D^4-(D/2)^4)/16D) = 16/15.

For a hollow shaft whose external diameter is d and internal diameter is d/2, then what will be the polar modulus?
