Solution

The correct option is C
0

Given,
$8 a_{8} = 15 a_{15}$
$\Rightarrow$ 8[a + (8 - 1)d] = 15[a + (15 - 1)d]
$\Rightarrow$ 8(a + 7d) = 15 (a + 14d)
$\Rightarrow$ 8a + 56d = 15a + 210d
$\Rightarrow$ -7a - 154d = 0
$\Rightarrow$ 7a + 154d = 0
$\Rightarrow$ a + 22d = 0
$\Rightarrow$ a + (23 - 1)d = 0
