Solution

The correct option is D $- 21$
Solution -
$A . P . \to a_{1}, a_{2}, . . . \dots . a_{n}$
First element $= a_{1}$
Common difference $=$ d
$a_{1} + a_{1} + 2 d + a_{1} + 4 d = - 12$
$3 a_{1} + 6 d = - 12$
$a_{1} + 2 d = - 4$ …… $(1)$
$a_{1} a_{2} a_{3} = 8$
$a_{1} (a_{1} + d) (a_{1} + 2 d) = 8$
Put $d_{1} = - 4 - 2 d$ from $(1)$
$(- 4 - 2 d) (- 4 - d) (- 4) = 8$
$(4 + 2 d) (4 + d) = - 2$
$16 + 4 d + 8 d + 2 d^{2} = - 2$
$2 d^{2} + 12 d + 18 = 0$
$d^{2} + 6 d + 9 = 0$
$(d + 3)^{2} = 0$
$d = - 3$
$a_{1} = - 4 + 6 = 2$
$a_{2} = a_{1} + d = - 1$
$a_{4} = a_{1} + 3 d = - 7$
$a_{6} = a_{1} + 5 d = - 13$
$a_{2} + a_{4} + a_{6} = (- 1) + (- 7) + (- 13) = - 21$
D is correct.
