Two shafts A and B under pure torsion are of identical length and identical weight and are made of the same material. The shaft A is solid and the shaft B is hollow. We can say that
Shaft B is better than shaft A
Shaft A is better than shaft B
Both the shafts are equally good
None of these
Correct Answer :
A. Shaft B is better than shaft A
