The probability that A speaks truth is 4/ 5 , while this probability for B is 3/ 4 . The probability that they contradict each other when asked to speak on a fact is

  • 3/20

  • 1/20

  • 7/20

  • 4/5

Solution

C.

7/20

The probability of speaking truth of A, P(A) = 4/5.
The probability of not speaking truth of A, P(straight A with bar on top) =1− 4./ 5 = 1/5.
The probability of speaking truth of B, P(B) = 3/4.
The probability of not speaking truth of B,P(top enclose straight B) =1/4.
The probability of that they contradict each other
