The correct answer is option 4):(Y = 0.24 - j0.06 mho)

Concept:

Admittance is a measure of how easily a circuit or device will allow a current to flow. It is defined as the reciprocal of impedance,

Z = \(1 \over Y\)

When two admittance connected in parallel then admittance

Y = Y1 + Y2

Calculation:

Given 

 Z1 = (4 + j3) Ω 

Y1 = \(1\over Z_1\)

=\(1 \over 4+j3\)

\(0.16 -0.12 i\)

Z= (8 - j6) Ω 

Y\(1 \over Z_2\)

\( 1\over (8 - j6)\)

= 0.08 + 0.06i 

Y = Y1 + Y2

= 0.08 + 0.06i + \(0.16 -0.12 i\)

=  0.24 - j0.06 mho
