Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

when x is divided by y then remainder is 60

we can write x as

$x=a\cdot y+60$

(x)/(y)=a+(60)/(y)

Here
(60)/(y) is the decimal part

for example
14.97=14+0.97

for option
(a)15.15=15+0.15

(60)/(y)=0.15

y=400

which is a integer so it is possible

for option b

18.16=18+0.16

so
(60)/(y)=0.16

y=375

y is integer so it is possible

(c)
17.17=17+0.17

(60)/(y)=0.17

y=352.94 which is not a integer so option 3 is not possible

So option D is the correct option
