Let m n m n = x \Large \sqrt {m\sqrt{n \sqrt{m\sqrt {n \sqrt{\cdots}}}}}=x m n x = x \therefore \sqrt {m\sqrt{nx}}=x Squaring two times we get, x 4 = m 2 n x x 3 = m 2 n x^4=m^2n x \Rightarrow x^3=m^2n In the question we want to evaluate x when m=3, n=7 and vice versa. Hence required answer= m 2 n n 2 m = m n ( m n ) = 7 × 3 × ( 7 3 ) m^2n-n^2m=mn(m-n)=7\times 3\times(7-3) = 84 ~~~~~~~~~~~~\Large =\boxed {\color{#D61F06}{\boxed{84}}}

Perfect :D

Let S = 7 3 7 \displaystyle S=\sqrt{7\sqrt{3\sqrt{7\sqrt{\ldots\infty}}}} and

P = 3 7 3 \displaystyle P=\sqrt{3\sqrt{7\sqrt{3\sqrt{\ldots\infty}}}}

Squaring both of these, we get:

S 2 = 7 P { 1 } \displaystyle S^2=7P \ldots \{1\}

and P 2 = 3 S { 2 } \displaystyle P^2=3S \ldots \{2\}

Multiplying both of these, we get:

S P = 21 21 21 \displaystyle SP=\sqrt{21\sqrt{21\sqrt{21\sqrt{\ldots\infty}}}}

S P 2 = 21 × S P \displaystyle \Rightarrow SP^2=21\times SP

S P = 21 { 3 } \displaystyle \Rightarrow SP=21 \ldots \{3\}

Therefore, the required expression is:

S 3 P 3 \displaystyle \Rightarrow S^3-P^3

S × { S 2 } P × { P 2 } \displaystyle \Rightarrow S\times \{S^2\} - P\times \{P^2\}

From equations { 1 } \displaystyle \{1\} and { 2 } \displaystyle \{2\}\ldots

S × { 7 P } P × { 3 S } \displaystyle \Rightarrow S\times \{7P\} - P\times \{3S\}

4 × S P \displaystyle \Rightarrow 4 \times SP

Finally, from equation { 3 } \displaystyle \{3\} \ldots

84 \displaystyle \Rightarrow \boxed{84}
