Both books are important, and you should read both.

Fowler's book focus on how to use UML, while Larman's book focus on OOAD.

Also plz tell me how much time(days) it may require for me to prepare for this exam assuming i have basic Knoeledge of OOAD and UML.

It depends, I used 1 week to study this exam due to the time limit of the promotion offer.
