A and B are two weak students in Mathematics and their chances of solving a problem correctly are `(1)/(8)` and `(1)/(12)`, respectively. They are given a problem and they obtain the same answer. If the probability of a common mistake is `(1)/(1001)`, then the probability that the answer was correct is a)`(12)/(13)` b)`(13)/(14)` c)`(14)/(15)` d)`(15)/(16)`
