hi i think ans is c
let the common diff. be 'd' nd the 1st term be ' a'
it is given dat t7=15 means a+6d=15............(1)
now t2 * t7* t12 = (a+d)(a+6d)(a+11d)
so now by putting the value of a from (1)
we get f(d)=15*25(9 - d^2)
so by differentiating wrt d we get.........
f'(d)=-2d
now for function to be max. or min. f'(d)=0
so d=0
now f''(d)=-2 this implies dat function is max.
hence c is the ans
hope m correct :)
