Detailed Solution

Let f(x)=ax4+bx3+cx2+dx+ef(x)=0x=1,0,1
4ax3+3bx2+2cx+d=0 for x{1,0,1}
Sum of the roots =3b4a=1+0+1=0b=0
Sum of the roots taken two at a time  =2c4a=1(0)+0(1)+1(1)=1c=2a.
Product of the roots =  =1×0×1=0d4a=0d=0
f(x)=ax42ax3+e.f(x)=f(0)ax42ax2+e=eax2x22=0x{0,0,2,2}. Thus T={0,0,2}
Therefore the sum of the cubes required, is 2(0)+22=22
