Determine ab^(−)  (a>b) such that( ab^(−) +ba^(−) )   and (ab^(−) −ba^(−) ) are both perfect squares.
$$\mathcal{D}{etermine}\:\overline {{ab}}\:\left({a}>{b}\right)\:{such}\:{that}\left(\:\overline {{ab}}+\overline {{ba}}\right)\: \\ $$$${and}\:\left(\overline {{ab}}−\overline {{ba}}\right)\:{are}\:{both}\:{perfect}\:{squares}. \\ $$

10a+b+10b+a=p^2  ⇔ 11(a+b)=p^2   10a+b−10b−a=q^2  ⇔ 9(a−b)=q^2   ⇒  a+b=11∧(a−b=1∨a−b=4)  b=11−a ⇒ a−b=2a−11  2a−11=1 ⇒ a=6∧b=5 ★  2a−11=4 ⇒ a∉N
$$\mathrm{10}{a}+{b}+\mathrm{10}{b}+{a}={p}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Leftrightarrow\:\mathrm{11}\left({a}+{b}\right)={p}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{10}{a}+{b}−\mathrm{10}{b}−{a}={q}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Leftrightarrow\:\mathrm{9}\left({a}−{b}\right)={q}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$${a}+{b}=\mathrm{11}\wedge\left({a}−{b}=\mathrm{1}\vee{a}−{b}=\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{11}−{a}\:\Rightarrow\:{a}−{b}=\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{11} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{11}=\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{a}=\mathrm{6}\wedge{b}=\mathrm{5}\:\bigstar \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{11}=\mathrm{4}\:\Rightarrow\:{a}\notin\mathbb{N} \\ $$
