Squaring the given expression, weobtain:

    ­\( \sqrt{c - x} = \sqrt{c} -\sqrt{x}\)

    \( c - x =c - 2\sqrt{cx} +x\)

    \( x =\sqrt{cx}\)
­­­

Now, squareagain:

    \( x^2 =cx\)

    \( x^2 - cx =0\)

    \( x(x - c) =0\)
­­­­­

The above equation has two solutions, x = 0 and x =c.

Answer:C.­­

­Hi Bunuel, 
As x = c so any nonnegative value of c is value of x. Thu,
Should not the answer be Ethen?
 
Thanks.

­c there is a fixed constant, not a variable. So it has one fixed value, say 10 or12.[/quote]
­yes, i realised it later after a couple of minutes of posting the question. Silly me. 
Only that if someone tries testing numbers on hit and trial basis, he/she is going to get wrong answer.­
