Solution

$(x^{2} + p) (x^{2} - 2 x + q) = x^{4} - 2 x^{3} + (p + q) x^{2} - 2 p x - p q = 0$ . . . $(1)$

Given equation,

$x^{4} - 2 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 6 x - 21 = 0$ . . . $(2)$

Compare the coefficients of $x^{4}, x^{3}, x^{2}, x$ and constant in both the equations

We get, $p + q = 4$
$- 2 p = 6$ ,
$p q = - 21$

$p = - 3 q = 7$

Which satisfies $p q = - 21$

$p + q = 4$
