Solution

The correct option is B $- 2$
If $α, β, γ$ are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial $a x^{3} + b x^{2} + c x + d$ , then
product of its zeroes, $α β γ = - \frac{d}{a}$

We know that,
$α β γ = - \frac{d}{a}$
$12 γ = - \frac{24}{1}$
[ $∵ α β = 12$ ]
$γ = - \frac{24}{12}$
$γ = - 2$
The correct answer is -2.
