  • ➡️Let A = Event that A SPEAKS the truth B = Event that B speaks the truth

  • B = Event that B speaks the truthThen P(A) = 25/100 = 1/4 P(B) = 20/100 = 1/5

  • P(B) = 20/100 = 1/5P(A-lie) = 1-1/4 = 1/4 . P(B-lie) = 1-1/5 = 1/5

  • P(B-lie) = 1-1/5 = 1/5Now

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)

[PLEASE note that we are adding at the. place of OR]

= (3/5*1/5) + (1/4*4/5) = 7/20

= (7/20 * 100) % = 35%

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
