Detailed Solution

Given statement is that every quadratic equation has at least one real root.
A quadratic equation can have

0, 1

2

roots at a time.
Thus, the minimum number of roots of a quadratic equation is

0

.
For example, a quadratic equation,

x 2 − 4 x + 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 + 4 x + 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.
