Check the parity of the equation and the rest should be clear.

So there are no solutions?? But the powers of 2 can be negative,so how do I handle that??

No, there are solutions. You have to consider the case where $k+4-4m^2=0$ or $n^2+k-m^2=0$.

Oh !! sorry I missed that case of k+n^2-m^2 =0. SO the ans. is 17 ?? :/

I think the problem can be solved in this way--- 1+2^(4-3m^2-n^2)=2^(k+4-4m^2)+2^(n^2+k-m^2)
or,1+2^(4-3m^2-n^2)=2^k(2^(4-4m^2)+2^(n^2-m^2))
or,1+a/b=2^k(a+b)
or,(a+b)/b=2^k(a+b)
or,2^k=1/b
or,2^k=2^(m^2-n^2)
or,k=m^2-n^2
Then by solving this equation,I think the answer is 72
