[JEE 2010] Consider the polynomial f(x)=1+2x+3x2+4x3f(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 . Let ss be the sum of all distinct real roots of f(x)f(x) and let t=∣s∣t = |s| . The real number ss lies in the interval (A) (−14,0)\left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right) (B) (−11,−34)\left(-11, -\frac{3}{4}\right) (C) (−34,−12)\left(-\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{1}{2}\right) (D) (0,14)\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)
