Correct option is (C) no root

Given equation is

\(\sqrt{x+4}-\sqrt{x-3}+1=0\)         ______________(1)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\sqrt{x+4}+1=\sqrt{x-3}\)

\(\Rightarrow x+4+1+2\sqrt{x+4}=x-3\)     (By squaring both sides)

\(\Rightarrow2\sqrt{x+4}=x-3-x-5\)

\(\Rightarrow2\sqrt{x+4}=-8\)

\(\Rightarrow\sqrt{x+4}=-4\)

\(\Rightarrow x+4=(-4)^2=16\)     (By squaring both sides)

\(\Rightarrow x=16-4=12\)

Put x = 12 in equation (1), we get

\(\sqrt{12+4}-\sqrt{12-3}+1=0\)

\(\Rightarrow4-3+1=0\)

\(\Rightarrow2=0\)                 (Not satisfy)

\(\therefore\) x = 12 is not a root of given equation.

It implies given equation has no root.
