Simple explanation is;
3 * 4 = 12.
In the second proportion;
The First digit is 5 and the next digit is 6.
So, 5 * 6=30.
Now,
3:3 * 4 :: 5 : 5 : 6.
3:12::5::30.
3 * 4 = 12.
In the second proportion;
The First digit is 5 and the next digit is 6.
So, 5 * 6=30.
Now,
3:3 * 4 :: 5 : 5 : 6.
3:12::5::30.

3------->3*4---->12 (4 is the next number after 3)
5------->5*6---->30 (similarly 6 is the next number after 5)
5------->5*6---->30 (similarly 6 is the next number after 5)

The best solution to understand this is:
What comes after 3 is 4.
So 3*4 = 12.
What's come after 5 is 6.
5*6 = 30.
What comes after 3 is 4.
So 3*4 = 12.
What's come after 5 is 6.
5*6 = 30.

3 and 5 are consecutive prime numbers so,
3 * 4 = 12 and 5 * 4 = 20 so 20 also can be the answer.
3 * 4 = 12 and 5 * 4 = 20 so 20 also can be the answer.

3 × 4 = 12 ( 3 next num is 4).
5 × 6 = 30 (5 next num is 6).
The answer is option c = 30.
5 × 6 = 30 (5 next num is 6).
The answer is option c = 30.

Answer is 15.
1*2+1 = 3,
3*3+3 = 12.
And;
4*1+1 = 5,
6*2+3 = 15.
1*2+1 = 3,
3*3+3 = 12.
And;
4*1+1 = 5,
6*2+3 = 15.

3+2 = 5.
12+2 = 15.
So why can't 15 be the answer ?
12+2 = 15.
So why can't 15 be the answer ?

By using next digits.
3*4 = 12.
5*6 = 30.
3*4 = 12.
5*6 = 30.
