9t9 = 15t15
9(a + 8d) = 15(a + 14d)
9a + 72d = 15a + 210 d
15a - 9a + 210d - 72d = 0
6a + 138d = 0
6(a + 23d) = 0
a + 23d = 0
t24 = 0
Hence proved.

Answer ->
Let the first term be x and denominator be the common difference.
Nine times the 9th term = 9 ( a + [ 9 -1 ]d)
9 ( a + 8d )
15 time the 15th term
= 15 ( a + 14d)
Now they both are equal
9 ( a + 8d ) = 15 ( a + 14d )
9a + 72d = 15a + 210d
6a + 138d = 0
6 ( a + 23d ) = 0
a + 23d = 0
Hence, proved
