In a test, a student either guesses or copies or knows the answer to a multiple choice question with four choices having one correct answer. The probability that he guesses the answer is \(\frac{1}{3}\) and the probability that he copies it is \(\frac{1}{12}\). The probability that his answer is correct given that he copied it is \(\frac{1}{6}\). The probability that he knew the answer, given that he has correctly answered it, is

  1. A \(\frac{6}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{15}{49}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{12}\)
  4. D \(\frac{10}{13}\)
