To determine which fraction is less than $$ \frac{2}{4} $$, let's first simplify $$ \frac{2}{4} $$:

$$
\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5
$$

Now, evaluate each of the given fractions:

1. **$$ \frac{6}{12} $$**
   $$
   \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \quad (\text{Equal to } 0.5)
   $$
2. **$$ \frac{10}{12} $$**
   $$
   \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833 \quad (\text{Greater than } 0.5)
   $$
3. **$$ \frac{8}{12} $$**
   $$
   \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667 \quad (\text{Greater than } 0.5)
   $$
4. **$$ \frac{3}{12} $$**
   $$
   \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \quad (\text{Less than } 0.5)
   $$

**Conclusion:** The only fraction among the options that is **less than** $$ \frac{2}{4} $$ is $$ \frac{3}{12} $$.

$$\boxed{\dfrac{3}{12}}$$
$$ \frac{3}{12} $$ is less than $$ \frac{2}{4} $$.
