Solution

The correct option is C 60
We know, Probability of an event E is given by
P(E) = $\frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}$

Given,
P(E) = 0.6
Total number of outcomes = 100

$∴$ 0.6 = $\frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{100}$
$\Rightarrow$ Number of favourable outcomes = 60
