We construct a family of two-step optimal fourth order iterative methods for finding single root of non-linear equations. We generalize these methods to simultaneous iterative methods for determining all the distinct as well as multiple roots of single variable non-linear equations. Convergence analysis is present for both cases to show that the order of convergence is four in case of single root finding method and is twelve for simultaneous determination of all roots of non-linear equation. The computational cost, Basin of attraction, efficiency, log of residual and numerical test examples shows, the newly constructed methods are more efficient as compared to the existing methods in literature.
