Simply says (1-(1^4÷2÷4)=15÷16.

I also get Answer is 16/15.

Shaft is said to be more strong if it resist moment and tmax is not the parameter to be used for it.

Tmax is used to compared material property and here we are calculating section strength, so maximum moment of resistant should be compared and answer for it will be 16/15.

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.

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.

But ratio obtained 16/15 how?

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.

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.
