Question : A alone can do $\frac{1}{10}$th part of a work in 8 hours. B alone can do $\frac{1}{5}$th part of the same work in 4 hours. If they work together, then how many hours will they take to complete $\frac{9}{16}$th part of the same work?
Option 1: 9 hours
Option 2: 5 hours
Option 3: 8 hours
Option 4: 4 hours
