20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm of Tom's drawing is 5 ft of the statue

So his 16 cm drawing is $16\times 5=80\ \text{ft}$

1 cm of Mary's drawing is 4 ft of the statue

1 ft of the statue is $\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cm}$ of the drawing.

So, 80 feet of the statue is $80\times \dfrac{1}{4}=20\ \text{cm}$ of the drawing.

Hence, Mary's drawing is 20 cm tall.
