Given:

Abhay's time to complete work (A) = 9 days

Bharat's time to complete work (B) = 11 days

They work together for 3 days.

Formula used:

Remaining work = Total work - (Work done together in 3 days)

Time taken by A to complete remaining work = Remaining work / (Work done by A in 1 day)

Calculations:

Work done by Abhay in 1 day = 1/9

Work done by Bharat in 1 day = 1/11

Work done together in 1 day = 1/9 + 1/11

⇒ Work done together in 1 day = (11 + 9) / (9 × 11) = 20 / 99

Work done together in 3 days = 3 × (20 / 99) = 20 / 33

Remaining work = 1 - 20/33 = 13/33

Time taken by Abhay to complete remaining work = (13/33) / (1/9)

⇒ Time taken by Abhay to complete remaining work = 117 / 33

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
