Let E is the event that A speaks truth...

then P(E) = 3/4

and let F is the event that B speaks truth....

then P(F) = 4/5

Then the event that their statements contradicts is denoted by
( E F' ) ( E' F )

Then Required Probability is denoted by.....
P ( ( E F' )
( E' F ) ) =  P ( E F' ) + P( E' F )
                                          
                                            = 
P (E).P(F') + P(E')P(F)
         
                                             = (3/4)(1/5) + (4/5)(1/4)

                                            = 7/20

Hope it is clear now..........

Cheerss!!!
