  2. B \(1\)
  3. C \(-2\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r_1 + r_2 + r_3 + r_4 = 2\) Given \(r_1 + r_2 = 0 \implies r_3 + r_4 = 2\) \(r_1r_2r_3 + r_1r_2r_4 + r_1r_3r_4 + r_2r_3r_4 = -4\) Let \(r_1 = \alpha, r_2 = -\alpha\). Then \(\alpha(-\alpha)r_3 + \alpha(-\alpha)r_4 + \alpha r_3r_4 - \alpha r_3r_4 = -4\)…
