Statistical Inference — conditional distribution given the total

Let X1X_1, X2X_2 be a random sample of size 2 from Bernoulli distribution with pmf as f(x,θ)={θx(1−θ)1−x,x=0,1 0,otherwisef(x, \theta) = \begin{cases} \theta^x(1-\theta)^{1-x}, & x = 0, 1 \ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}. Then X1+X2X_1+X_2 is sufficient for θ\theta if P[X1=x1,X2=x2∣(X1+X2)=t]\mathbb{P}[X_1 = x_1, X_2 = x_2 \mid (X_1+X_2) = t] is equal to:
