(B) Given equation is $\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x-1}=\sqrt{4x-1}$.For the square roots to be defined, we must have $x+1 \ge 0$, $x-1 \ge 0$, and $4x-1 \ge 0$, which implies $x \ge 1$.Squaring both sides, we get $(x+1) + (x-1) - 2\sqrt{x^2-1} = 4x-1$.This simplifies to $2x - 2\sqrt{x^2-1} = 4x-1$, or $-2\sqrt{x^2-1} = 2x-1$.Squaring both sides again, we get $4(x^2-1) = (2x-1)^2 = 4x^2 - 4x + 1$.This simplifies to $4x^2 - 4 = 4x^2 - 4x + 1$, which gives $4x = 5$, or $x = \frac{5}{4}$.Checking $x = \frac{5}{4}$ in the original equation: $\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}+1} - \sqrt{\frac{5}{4}-1} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} - \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 1$.However, the right side is $\sqrt{4(\frac{5}{4})-1} = \sqrt{5-1} = \sqrt{4} = 2$.Since $1 
eq 2$, $x = \frac{5}{4}$ is an extraneous solution.Therefore, there are no real solutions to the equation.
