We know that for both Solid and Hollow Sphere, the Capacitance   is the same.,as the charges lie on the surface of a Conduction Sphere. Now for same potential the charge on both the spheres will be equal as Potential V=Q/C therefore  Q=CV.

As in conductors charge reside on surface so both have same maximum charge and radius is also same in both spheres so no matter whether it is hollow or solid spheres
