Detailed Solution

Given statement is that every quadratic equation has at least one real root.
A quadratic equation can have 0, 1 or 2 roots at a time.
Thus, the minimum number of roots of a quadratic equation is 0.
For example, a quadratic equation, x 2 4x+4=0   has only one root which is 2.
That is for some quadratic equations, there exist only one real root.
And for the quadratic equation, x 2 +4x+10=0   has no real root.
So, the given statement is false.
Therefore, the correct statement is, for some quadratic equations, there exist no real roots.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
