b works but so does d
By the way two things have to happen.
a(b+c) = 60
and if ab = 36 then ac must be 24

Your answer is partially correct.
4 ( 9 + 6 ) = 4 * 15 = 60
But also:
36 = 12 * 3
24 = 12 * 2
36 + 24 = 12 * 3 + 12 * 2 = 12 ( 3 + 2 )
12 * ( 3 + 2 ) = 12 * 5 = 60
Answers b and d
4 ( 9 + 6 ) = 4 * 15 = 60
But also:
36 = 12 * 3
24 = 12 * 2
36 + 24 = 12 * 3 + 12 * 2 = 12 ( 3 + 2 )
12 * ( 3 + 2 ) = 12 * 5 = 60
Answers b and d
