IMO B
X/Y =96.12---1
and X/y gives remainder 9
so
X = 96 Y + 9----2
from 1 you will get
X = 96.12Y
substituting this in 2
96.12Y = 96Y + 9
0.12Y = 9
Y= 75
hence B

I'm sure you're aware of this form
Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder
So x = ky + 9 (where k is the quotient when x is divided by y and 9 is the corresponding remainder)
x/y = k + 9/y --------- (1)
Since y > 9 so 9/y < 1
So try expressing 96.12 in the above form
x/y = 96 + .12 --------- (2)
Comparing (1) and (2) we get k = 96 and 9/y = .12
So y = 75
