A person $P$ speaks truth in $75 \%$ cases and another person $R$ in $80 \%$ cases. Then, the probability that they likely to contradict each other in narrating the same event is
  1. $\frac{7}{20}$
  2. $\frac{7}{10}$
  3. $02$
  4. $0.3$

Solution

' Favourable cases - Case I $A$ speaks truth, $B$ does not Case II $B$ speaks truth, $A$ does not $\therefore$ Probability $=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{7}{20}$
