D Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost = Car price + Tyres = 60000 + (10% of 60000) = 60000 + 6000 = 66000. For 15% gain, selling price = 66000 × 1.15 = 75900. The profit is calculated on total investment (purchase + repairs), not just the car's initial cost. Option A gives only 12.9% profit, option B gives 11.4%, option C gives 20.5% - all incorrect.
