If two spherical conductors, one of solid sphere and the other of hollow sphere of equal radii are charged to the same potential, then the charges on them are in the ratio 1:1, since their electrical capacitances are same.

Answer:
Yes. Electrical capacitances of both the sphere are same.
Potential V of solid sphere or hallow sphere of same radii R and holding same charge Q is given by, 
hence capacitance C of either spheres is given by, C = Q/V = 4πεoR
Capacitance is physically charge holding capacity of the object. In solid sphere or hallow sphere, charge is always residing on surface.
Since surface area is same for both sphere, capacitance is same.
