Q. A man is known to speak truth in 75% cases. If he throws a dice and says it is a six, then the probability that it is actually a six, is?
The probability that "he says it is a six given that it is not a six" should be (0.25/5). Then the answer to above question comes out to be 1/6.
But if we take above probability to be (0.25), answer becomes 3/8.
Everywhere the answer is given to be 3/8.
So, what is the correct answer and what are we supposed to do in JEE.
