Given:

Abhay can complete the work in 17 days.

Bharat can complete the work in 10 days.

They worked together for 3 days, then Bharat left.

Calculation:

Work remaining after 3 days = Total work - Work done in 3 days

Time taken by Abhay to complete the remaining work = Remaining work / Work done by Abhay in 1 day

Work done by Abhay in 1 day = 1/17

Work done by Bharat in 1 day = 1/10

Work done by both in 1 day = 1/17 + 1/10 = 27/170

Work done by both in 3 days = 3 × 27/170 = 81/170

Work remaining = 1 - 81/170 = 89/170

Time taken by Abhay to complete the remaining work = (89/170) / (1/17)

⇒ Time taken by Abhay to complete the remaining work = 1513/170

∴ The correct answer is option 2.
