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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Total cases =} ^{52}C_2 \\
= \frac{52*51}{2*1} = 1326 \\
\text{Total King cases =} ^{4}C_2 \\
= \frac{4*3}{2*1} = 6 \\

\text{Probability =} = \frac{6}{1326}\\
= \frac{1}{221} \\
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

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) = 1-3/4 = 1/4
P(B-lie) = 1-4/5 = 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)
[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%

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Total cases are = 2*2*2 = 8, which are as follows
[TTT, HHH, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT]

Favoured cases are = [TTH, THT, HTT, TTT] = 4

So required probability = 4/8 = 1/2

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Total number of cases = 52
Favourable cases = 2

Probability = 2/56 = 1/26

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Total number of cases = 6*6 = 36

Favourable cases = [(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,2),(5,4),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)] = 27

So Probability = 27/36 = 3/4
