Answer:
A) The Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world
Sentence A implies that the Nile is not the longest river in the world, but is one of them. We would think this to mean the Nile is the second, third, fourth, or fifth longest, but definitely not the first. Somewhere near the top. This is because the use of the pronoun-preposition pair 'one of' means the noun is part of a whole, or a group, not the pinnacle itself.
Even though you have used the superlative ending '-est' (which would normally mean the most of something) you have shown that the Nile is merely one example of the longest rivers, and not the longest river itself.
B) The Nile is longer than any other rivers in the world
Correction: The Nile is longer than any other river in the world. ('any' requires the noun to be singular, hence 'river' and not 'rivers'.)
Sentence B implies that the Nile is the longest river. Even though you've used the comparative ending '-er' (which would normally not mean the most of something), you have also stated that the Nile is comparatively longer than every single other river.
This would be like me saying, "I have more money than any other person." I didn't say I was the richest (the person with the most money), but I implied it by claiming that there was no one with more money than me.
