(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.

Why we are subtracting 1 to 10 square values?

I can't understand. Please help me to get it.

Here, (1**2+2**2+3**2+.........+n**2) = (1/6)(n(n+1)(2n+1)
n=20.
(1/6)(20*21*41)=2870.

It is very simple.

We can learn squares to addition.
121+144+169+196+225+256+289+324+361+400 = 2485.
But it is below 20^2.

By applying n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 we get the answer directly.
Hence given upto 20.
So, here n=20.i.e.20(21)(41)/6=2870.

Sn = S20 - S10.

S10 = (1/6)(n(n+1)(2n+1)
= (10*11*21)/6 =385.

S20 = (1/6)(n(n+1)(2n+1)
= (20*21*41)/6 = 2870.

Sn = S20-S10.
= 2870-385,
= 2485.

Can anyone explain me formula?

I don't want to remember it but I want to understand it.

I want to understand formula like why we have to divide 6 in this formula?
