Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]m^2-n^2[/tex] is even i.e.

let us suppose it 2k

and we know that it is possible only when either both m&n is odd or even

i.e.

[tex]\left ( even\right )^2-\left ( even\right )^2[/tex]=even number

[tex]\left ( odd\right )^2-\left ( odd\right )^2[/tex]=odd number
