Question : If $m^2-n^2=21$ and $m - n = 3$, find the value of $m + n$.
Option 1: 7
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 24
Option 4: 18
Correct Answer: 7
Solution : Given, $m^2-n^2=21$ and $m - n = 3$ We know, $m^2-n^2=(m-n)(m+n)$ ⇒ $m+n=\frac{m^2-n^2}{m-n}$ ⇒ $m+n = \frac{21}{3}$ ⇒ $m+n =7$ Hence, the correct answer is 7.
