Q:

A speaks truth in 75% of cases and B in 80% of cases. In what percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other, narrating the same incident

A) 30/100 B) 35/100
C) 45/100 D) 50/100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 35/100

Explanation:

Let   A = Event that A speaks the truth

B = Event that B speaks the truth 


Then P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4

P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5

P(A-lie) = 1-34= 1/4 

P(B-lie) = 1-45= 1/5

 

Now, A and B contradict each other =[A lies and B true] or [B true and B lies]

 = P(A).P(B-lie) + P(A-lie).P(B) 

 = 35*15+14*45=720  

 = 720*100= 35%
