The solid section max shear stress is 16T/pi D3.
Hollow section is 16T/piD^3*[1-[D^4/d^4]].
The ratio of these to is 15/16 once remembering d=D/2.

I also get Answer is 16/15.

Shear stress= 16T/πD3(solid).

Shear stress=16T/πD3(1-d4/D4)
=16T/π(D4-d4)/D
=16T/π/(15D4/16)/D
=16*16T/(π*15*D3)
Ratio=16T/πD3:16*16T/15πD3.
= 15/16.

Simply says (1-(1^4÷2÷4)=15÷16.

(1-k^4).
K= d/2÷D,
d/2=.5
Ans .937.

((π/16)*maximum shere stress*(outside dia)^3)/((π/16)*maximum shere stress*((out side dia^4-inside dia^4)/inside dia)=16D^4/15D^4=16/15.

Ration obtain is 16/15.

Strength proportional to section modulus,
So, I got 16/15.

Answer should be 16/15. If the answer is 15/16 then it is implying that the hollow shaft is stronger than the solid shaft of same outer diameter, which is not correct.

I think we get 16/15.
