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.

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.
