x^2 + mx + n = (x + p)^2
=> x^2 + mx + n = x^2 +2px +p^2
=> Comparing the coefficients we get, m = 2p and n =p^2
(1) p = 3
We can calculate value of n = p^2 = 9
Statement (1) alone is sufficient.
(2) m = 6
We can calculate value of m=2p => p =3 and n = p^2 = 9
Statement (2) alone is alsosufficient.
Answer:D
[color=#ff0000] I have reduced the iniatial equation to m+n = 2p+p^2... can you elaborate on how you get m = 2p and n =p^2 since it seems possible that
m = P^2 and n
