The probabilities that he reaches the college late if he takes car, bus, train are \(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{4}{7}\) and \(\frac{1}{7}\) respectively. If he reaches the college in time, the probability that he traveled by car is

  1. A \(\frac{6}{29}\)
  2. B \(\frac{24}{29}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{29}\)
  4. D \(\frac{23}{29}\)
