Its not provided in the question that the Zth has to be found across which branch.

The parallel combination of j12 and 15 will give the answer.

15? You mean 8k?

Zth is found across load so RL will open circuit and voltage source short circuit so XL will also SC. So XC and are will become parallel to each other and gave answer.

@Vasiq he said to replace 8K with 15K.

Can anyone tell which is the correct answer.

First short the Vs. Since Vs is in parallel with Xl, Xl goes to zero.
Second remove the Rl by opening it.that is the point where Zth is found. Now R (8K) is in parallel with Xc.
