(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \[ \sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x-1}=\sqrt{4 x-1} \] On squaring both sides, we get \[ (x+1)+(x-1)-2 \sqrt{x^{2}-1}=4 x-1 \] \(\Rightarrow \quad 2 x-2 \sqrt{x^{2}-1}=4 x-1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad-2 \sqrt{x^{2}-1}=2 x-1\) Again, squaring both sides, we get…
