α(x-β)2+β(x-α)2=0    ---(1)

Given α and β are real and of opposite sign

Therefore αβ= -ve

From equation 1

α(x2+β2-2xβ) + β(x2+α2-2αx)=0

(α+β)x2-4αβx+αβ(α+β)=0

product of the roots = αβ(α+β)/(α+β)= αβ = -ve

discriminant Δ=16 α2β2-4 αβ( α+β)2 

as 16 α2β2 and ( α+β)2 are positive and αβ is negative, Δ  is positive

so the roots of the equation are real and opposite in sign.

Ans: c
