a,b,c and d are positive integers such that a^5=d^4 and c^3=b^2.Also c-a=19....
Then
b-d=?

I think you're actually missing a sign: 7 5 7 = b − d , not d − b .
Since a , d are integers and a 5 = d 4 , a = n 4 for some integer n . Similarly, since c , b are integers and c 3 = b 2 , c = m 2 for some integer m . That is, a + 1 9 = m 2 . Checking the first three numbers that are powers of four to find a , we get:
a = 8 1 , d = 2 4 3 , c = 1 0 0 , b = 1 0 0 0 , so b − d = 7 5 7 .
