If the roots of the equation `x^(2)-4x-log_3 a=0` , are real , the least value of a is :

A

81

B

`1//81`

C

`1//64`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since the roots of the given equation are real.
`therefore" ""Discriminant" gt 0`
`rArr" "16+4 log_(3) a ge -4 rArr a ge 3^(-4) rArr a ge 1//81`
Hence, the least value of a is 1/81.
