Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:Since p (x) has relative extreme at x=1 and 2
so p' (x)=0 at x=1 and 2
⇒ p' (x)=A (x-1) (x-2)
⇒ p (x)=∫A (x²-3x+2)dx
p (x)=A (x³/3 - 3x²/2 + 2x)+C
P (1)=8
From (1)
8=A (1/3-3/2+2)+C
⇒ 8=5A/6+C ⇒ 48=5A+6C
P (2)=4
⇒ 4=A (8/3-6+4)+C
⇒ 4=-2A/3+C ⇒ 12=-2A+3C
From 3 and 4, C=-12
So P (0)=C=-12
