Find conditional probability if student knew answer


In answering a question on a multiple-choice test a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let p be the probability that she knows the answer and 1 - p the probability that she guesses. Assume that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability 1/m, where m is the number of multiple-choice alternatives. What is the conditional probability that a student knew the answer to a question given that she answered it correctly?
