Solution

The correct option is B
Real and of opposite signs

Given $x_{1} (x - x_{2})^{2} + x_{2} (x - x_{1})^{2} = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} (x_{1} + x_{2}) - 4 x x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{2} (x_{1} + x_{2}) = 0 Δ = 16 x_{1}^{2} x_{2}^{2} - 4 x_{1} x_{2} (x_{1} + x_{2})^{2} > 0 (∵ x_{1} x_{2} < 0 g i v e n)$
$∴$ Real roots
Also product of roots $x_{1} x_{2} < 0$
$∴$ Roots are of opposite sign
