Correct Answer: 4.8
Solution : Given: A can finish a job in 8 hours and B can finish the same job in 12 hours independently. A's 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{8}$ B's 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{12}$ (A + B)'s 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{5}{24}$ So, they can finish the work together in $\frac{24}{5}=4.8$ hours Hence, the correct answer is 4.8.
