Abstract: In a recent article S. Gharibian [href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.86.042106}{Phys. Rev. A {�f 86}, 042106 (2012)}] has conjectured that no two qubit separable state of rank greater than two could be maximally non classical (defined to be those which have normalized geometric discord $1/4$) and asked for an analytic proof. In this work we prove analytically that among the subclass of $X$ states, there is a unique (up to local unitary equivalence) maximal separable state of rank two. Partial progress has been made towards the general problem and some necessary conditions have been derived.
