The correct answer is: 25

Given,

log292α-4+13-log232α-4·52+1=2

Now let 32α-4=t, so the equation becomes,

log2t2+13-log25t2+1=2

log2t2+135t2+1=2

t2+135t2+1=22

t2+13=10t+4

t2-10t+9=0

t=1 or 9

So,

32α-4=1 or 9

32α-4=30 or 32

2α-4=0 or 2

α=2, 3

Now,

x2-2αsα2x+asα+12β=0

x2-22+32x+32+42β=0

x2-50x+25β=0

Now for real roots 

D0

502-4×25β0

50-2β0

β25

So, maximum value of β is 25.
