Solution

We have, initial weight of Nikhil = 60 kg
After increase in weight, weight became = 66 kg
Increase in weight = 66 - 60 = 6 kg
$∴$ Increase percentage of weight $= \frac{I n c r e a s e}{I n i t i a l w e i g h t} \times 100 % = \frac{6}{60} \times 100 % = \frac{60}{6} % = 10 %$
So, increase in weight is 10 %.
