A
-\(\frac{1}{4}\) < x < \(\frac{1}{3}\)
B
\(\frac{1}{4}\) < x < -\(\frac{1}{3}\)
C
-\(\frac{1}{3}\) < x < \(\frac{1}{4}\)
D
-\(\frac{1}{4}\) < x < - \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Correct Option: A
12x2 < x + 1
12 - x - 1 < 0
12x2 - 4x + 3x - 1 < 0
4x(3x - 1) + (3x - 1) < 0
Case 1 (+, -)
4x + 1 > 0, 3x - 1 < 0
x > -(\frac{1}{4})x < (\frac{1}{3})
Case 2 (-, +) 4x + 1 < 0, 3x - 1 > 0
-(\frac{1}{4}) < x < - (\frac{1}{3})
