Let E1 be the event that A speaks truth and E2 be the event that B speaks truth. Then E and f are independent events such that
P(E1) = 60/100 = 3/5, P(E1) = 90/100 = 9/10
⇒ P(bar E1) = 2/5, P(bar E2) = 1/10
P (A and B contradict each other) = P(E1)P(bar E2) + P(bar E1)P(E2)
= 3/5 x 1/10 + 2/5 x 9/10 = (3 + 18)/50 = 21/50
Yes, the statement of B will carry more weight as the probability of B to speak truth is more than that of A.
