A very easy question , if you read the question properly.
The question mentions that n is a POSITIVE integer.

1st condition -> n^4 <25 -> n=1,2 only (n=3 , n^4=27 , conditions does not apply)
2nd condition -> n=/= n^2 -> Can be all the numbers in the world except 1

When you combine both the equations ->
From first equation we find that n can be either 1 or 2. However from the second equation we already know that 1 is not a possible solution. Hence the answer is 1.
