In a bolt factory, machines X, Y, Z manufacture bolts that are respectively 25%, 35% and 40% of the factory's total output. The machines X, Y, Z respectively produce 2%, 4% and 5% defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured by machine X?

A

`(5)/(39)`

B

`(11)/(39)`

C

`(20)/(39)`

D

`(34)/(39)`
