E = event that 'A' reports it is head. E1 = The outcome is head. E2 = outcome is tail. Required. P(E1/E) = P(E/E1) * P(E1)/ P(E) Cases in which 'A' reports heads case 1 when it is head and he is saying the truth = 1/2 * 4/5 case 2 when it is a tail and he is lying. = 1/2 *1/5. Also...

E = event that 'A' reports it is head. E1 = The outcome is head. E2 = outcome is tail. Required. P(E1/E) = P(E/E1) * P(E1)/ P(E) Cases in which 'A' reports heads case 1 when it is head and he is saying the truth = 1/2 * 4/5 case 2 when it is a tail and he is lying. = 1/2 *1/5. Also P(E/E1) = 4/5 (Since, it just denotes the probability of 'A' telling the truth.) So, P(E1/E) = (4/5) * (1/2)/ [{(4/5) * (1/2)}+{(1/5) * (1/2)}] = 4/5 read less

The probability that there was a head= A speaks truth x probability of falling head= (4/5)x(1/2)= 2/5 ( provided the coin is tossed one time only)
