For these questions you can go by concept of maxima and minima in calculus …
But still there's a more easy way which is known as AM GM inequality and it states that if there are two positive reals say a and b then their arithmetic mean is greater than or equal to their geometric mean … (Seems complex right but It's not at all!)
Mathematically (a+b)/2 >( or equal to) root(a.b)
for this question let's take the two terms individually then apply AM GM inequality
(3tan^2x + 12/tan^2x)/2 > root (3tan^2x . 12/tan^2x)
The tan^2x expression under the radical is cancelled and you get finally
3tan^2x+12/tan^2x > 2.root 36
Which shows that 3tan^2x+12/tan^2x > 12
So minimum possible value is 12
