Bill and George go target shooting together. Both shoot at a target at the same time. Suppose Bill hits the target with probability $0.7$ whereas George,independently,hits the target with probability $0.4$. Given that exactly one shot hit the target,what is the probability that it was George's shot?

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{9}$
