Correct Answer: $\frac{252}{13}$ days
Solution : Given: A can do $\frac{1}{4}$ part of a work in 9 days. A does the whole work in $9\times 4=36$ days. So, A's one day's work = $\frac{1}{36}$. B can do $\frac{2}{3}$ part of the same work in 28 days. B does the whole work in $28\times \frac{3}{2}=42$ days. So, B's one day's work = $\frac{1}{42}$. The number of days required by A and B to complete the whole work together = $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{42}}=\frac{1}{\frac{7+6}{252}}=\frac{252}{13}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{252}{13}$ days.
