Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`24//25`
Let events
A: Event that fiest man speaks truth
B: Event that second man speaks truth
R: Day is rainy
`thereforeP(A)=4/5,P(B)=2/3,P(R)=3/4`
`therefore` Required probability
`=(P(AnnB).P(R))/(P(AnnB).P(R)+P(A'nnB').P(R'))`
`=(4/5xx2/3xx3/4)/(4/5xx2/3xx3/4+1/5xx1/3xx1/4)=24/25`
