Work rate of new copier \(= \frac{1500}{8} = \frac{375}{2}\)
Work rate of old copier \(= \frac{1500}{12} = \frac{250}{2}\)
Combined work rate \(= \frac{375}{2}+\frac{250}{2}=\frac{625}{2}\)
So we have
\(\frac{625}{2}*hours=1500\)
Hours\(=\frac{1500*2}{625}=4.8\)
Answer is (C)

as all the work done by both machines and the combined rate work is same treat 1500 copies as 1 work
so new m/C 1 work in 8 hrs
so in 1 hr -------------1/8 work
similarly for old M/C
1hr----------------1/12 work
net work by both m/c in 1 hr = 1/8+1/12= 20/96
so time taken will be 96/20 hrs to complete one work therefore 1500 copies
=4.8 hrs
