- D25 37
Correct answer
B. 1 5
Step-by-step solution
E ₁ Person speak truth E₂ Person speak false F Getting a king card aligned & P (E₁ )= 3 4 , P (E₂ )= 1 4 , P ( F E₁ )= 4 52 = 1 13 , P ( F E₂ )= 12 13 & P ( E₁ F )= P ( F E₁ ) P (E₁ ) P ( F E₁ ) P (E₁ )+P ( F E₂ ) P (E₂ ) & = 1 13 3 4 1 13 3 4 + 12 13 1 4 = 3 52 3 52 + 12 52 = 3 15 = 1 5 aligned
