(112 + 122 + 132 + ... + 202) = ?
385
2485
2870
3255
Answer: Option
Explanation:

(112 + 122 + 132 + ... + 202) = (12 + 22 + 32 + ... + 202) - (12 + 22 + 32 + ... + 102)

Ref: (12 + 22 + 32 + ... + n2) = 1 n(n + 1)(2n + 1)    
6

20 x 21 x 41 - 10 x 11 x 21
6 6

= (2870 - 385)

= 2485.

Its simple sum of squares of natural number till 20 minus sum till 10.
Formula to calculate such sum is
{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}/6. n is the lats digit
ie. 20 and 10 in this example

How do we get the value of {n(n+1)(2n+1)}/6?

Can please anyone tell me?

Where did we get the value of {n(n+1)(2n+1)}/6 from?

Can someone help please in simple way?

Simple method is:

n/2[firstnum + lastnum]-120.
n = 50{totalnum}.

The method is simple,

Firstly we need to find out the squares from 1 to 20 instead of 11 to 20.

Then we can easily find out the squares of 11^2.20^2 by taking the difference between the (1^2+2^2+.20^2) - (1^2+2^2+.10^2).

According to the formula the answer is 2870. But why we subtract 385? Anyone please tell me.

@Kavitha.

According to the formula we find for the whole.

1 square to 20 square = 2870.

But we need only 11 square to 20 square.

So we subtract 1 square to 10 square = 385.

Hence 11 square to 20 square = 2870-385 = 2485.
