    If x2−4x+4b=0x^2-4x+4b=0x2−4x+4b=0​has two real solutions, find the value of 'b'.
    Question

    If x24x+4b=0x^2-4x+4b=0​has two real solutions, find the value of 'b'.

    A.

    b = 0

    B.

    b ≥ 1

    C.

    b = +1, -1

    D.

    b ≤ 1

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    x2- 4x + 4b = 0 has two real solutions.

    Concept Used:

    Discriminant for a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

    b2 - 4ac ≥ 0

    ​Solution:

    The discriminant Δ for this equation is:

    Δ=(4)24(1)(4b)Δ=1616b\Delta = (-4)^2 - 4(1)(4b) \\\Delta = 16 - 16b \\​​

    For the quadratic equation to have two real solutions, the discriminant should be non-negative:

    1616b016 - 16b \geq 0 \\​​

    Simplifying this inequality:

    16116b11b\frac{16}{1} \geq \frac{16b}{1} \\1 \geq b \\​​

    Thus, the value of b must satisfy b1.

    Therefore, the correct answer is b1 for the quadratic equation to have two real solutions.
