A person goes to office either by car, scooter, bus or train probability of which being`1/7, 3/7, 2/7 and 1/7` respectively. Probability that he reaches office late, if he takes car, scooter, bus or train is `2/9, 1/9, 4/9 and 1/9` respectively. Given that he reached office in time, then what is the probability that he travelled by a car?
