You forgot the check on the sentence, as Interviewer may be lying or not (50% probability for each of the two).
If he is NOT lying than there is NO price behind B --> you have 50% it is behind A and 50% it is behind C.
If he IS lying than price is behind door B (100% sure)
If you draw the brances tree and put it all together, you have that:
Probab. = 0,5*[(0.5*A+0.5*C] + 0.5*1*B
Ossia:
Probab = 0,25*A + 0.25*C + 0.5B
which means that both A and C have 25% probabiity of having it right, while B has 50% to be right.
Therefore answer is: "you leave door A and choose door B ". Not because this IS behind door B, but because you have a higher probability this is there.
