`A and B` are two independent witnesses (i.e., there is no collision between them) in a case. The probability that A will speak the truth is x and the probability that B will speak the truth is y. A and B agree in a certain statement. Show that the probability that the statement is true is `(xy)/(1-x-y+2xy)`.
