We can see that, ( p + q + r + s ) being a prime has to be odd . Thus,at least one of p , q , r , s has to be even. But since p , q , r , s are distinct primes exactly one of them has to be 2.
Let,
p 2 + q s \ p 2 + q r Assume q=2 ⟹ p 2 + 2 s ( n 2 − p 2 ) ( m o d 4 ) ( n 2 − p 2 ) ( m o d 4 ) 2 s ( m o d 4 ) ⟹ ( n 2 − p 2 ) ( m o d 4 ) ⟹ n 2 − p 2 or q Similary we can prove r, s ⟹ p As p=2 ,we can write, 4 + q s 4 + q r n 2 − 4 ( n + 2 ) ( n − 2 ) Similarly ( m + 2 ) ( m − 2 ) we have n 2 Let, n Since q,r,s are primes we q r s ⟹ n − m Rewriting in terms of m, r q s r ( m o d 3 ) s ( m o d 3 ) q ( m o d 3 ) ⟹ At least one of q,r,s Since q,r,s are distinct However, if r,q=3,s will ⟹ s q r Also if we had assumed Thus the possible ( 2 , 7 , 3 , 1 1 ) and n + ( i = 1 ∑ n ( p i + q i + r i + s i ) ) − 2 3 P.S. : Sorry for the lengthy solution. = n 2 = m 2 , = n 2 ≡ 2 s ( m o d 4 ) ≡ 0 , 1 , − 1 As, n 2 , p 2 ( m o d 4 ) ≡ 0 , 1 ≡ 2 As, s is an odd prime ≡ 2 s ( m o d 4 ) = 2 s = 2 = 2 = 2 = n 2 = m 2 = q s = q s = q r = m 2 As, s = r > m have , = ( n − 2 ) = ( m + 2 ) = ( n + 2 ) = ( m − 2 ) = 4 As q = ( n − 2 ) = ( m + 2 ) = m + 6 = m + 2 = m − 2 ≡ m ( m o d 3 ) ≡ m + 1 ( m o d 3 ) ≡ m + 2 ( m o d 3 ) is divisible by 3 primes exactly one of q,r,s=3 be negative = 3 = 7 = 1 1 m>n ,r and s would just interchange their values solutions are , ( 2 , 7 , 1 1 , 3 ) = 2 + 2 × ( 2 + 3 + 7 + 1 1 ) − 2 3 = 2 5
