Choose the correct answer from the given four options$.A$ and $B$ are two students. Their chances of solving a problem correctly are $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{4},$ respectively. If the probability of their making a common error is$, \frac{1}{20}$ and they obtain the same answer, then the probability of their answer to be correct is:
  • A$\frac{1}{12}$
  • B$\frac{1}{40}$
  • C$\frac{13}{120}$
  • D$\frac{10}{13}$
