The probability of men getting a certain disease is $\frac{1}{2}$ and that of women getting the same disease is $\frac{1}{5}$. The blood test that identifies the disease gives the correct result with probability $\frac{4}{5}$. Suppose a person is chosen at random from a group of $30$ males and $20$ females,and the blood test of that person is found to be positive. What is the probability that the chosen person is a man?

  • A
    $\frac{75}{107}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{15}{19}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{10}$
