Correct Answer: $\frac{12}{5}$
Solution : Given: A alone can do a work in 4 days. B alone can do it in 6 days. They together in 1 day can do ($\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}$) part of the work $=\frac{6+4}{24}=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}$ part of the work So, they together can complete the work in $\frac{12}{5}$ days. Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{12}{5}$.
