Solution

The correct option is A 655
From the given conditions,
x1+x2=4α and x1x2=±4β
Solving the two equations, we get
x1=2(α±β)
i.e, x1 is multiple of 2.
x1x204,826,1040,862,1080,4102,6
​​​​There are total 12 possibilities. Since (x1,x2) and (x2,x1) are same in this case, there is only 6 possibilities.
Hence, required probability =611C2=655
