Correct Answer: $2\frac{2}{11}$ hours


Solution : Reena, Veena and Vimla can do a work in 4 hours, 8 hours, and 12 hours, respectively.
Reena's 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{4}$
Veena's 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{8}$
Vimla's 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{12}$
$\therefore$ (Reena + Veena + Vimla)'s 1 hour's work = $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{11}{24}$
So, they will finish the whole work together in $\frac{24}{11}=2\frac{2}{11}$ hours
Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{2}{11}$ hours.
