I can't able to find the answer.

Its very simple.
Its formula,

[(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2]/ab.

[(a^2+b^2+2ab)-(a^2+b^2-2ab)]/ab.

[a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab]/ab.

From here a^2-a^2 = 0, b^2-b^2 = 0, and 2ab+2ab = 4ab.

4ab/ab.

Now divide ab/ab i.e 1.

so 4*1 = 4.
(4)

=[(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2]/ab
=[(a2+b2+2ab)-(a2-b2-2ab)]/ab
=4ab/ab,
where as a^2 and b^2 will get cancelled as both are in oppoaite signs
=4
