Jesus said unless you eat and drink my blood you will not have eternal life.Why he said that if those souls who go to hell will be eternal too but in hell?

God Himself is the source of all life. If you picture Him in that light then what you have is a contrast of life and death - but more specifically, life and non-life. That being said, one cannot possess eternal life if he rejects God. (the following is personal conjecture, so don’t take it without some salt) However, one could still be eternally ‘existent’ because we were made in His image. Furthermore, He, being the source of all life, would not snuff out His own creation because He is about life, not death. That is why rejecting God leads to eternal suffering, because it is a separation of the soul from the source of life, and at the same time the soul cannot cease to exist because it was made in God’s image.

It’s like ripping two strands of yarn apart, but the strands never disconnect.

Eternal life refers to being eternally in heaven. Death in the new testament when used in allegory, or references of spiritual death, refer to someone going to or being in hell. So in this passage, Jesus is saying that if you do not eat and drink his body and blood you will not have eternal life (not enter heaven).
 
The souls in Hell though excistent are dead in that all that is good in them has died.
