(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.

@All.

To find the sum of (square of natural numbers) we can use the formula that is.
sn=n (n+1) (2n+1) /6 upto n terms.

But here,We have to find the sum of the square of a natural number between 11 to 20 then we have to subtract the sum of the square of natural number from 1 to 10 then we can get the answer.

Here, we use n[n+1][2n+1]/6.

Here we take n=20 then substitute we get 2870
Next we have to take n=10 then substitute we get 385
Later Subtract 2870-385=2485.

It is bcoz in n=20 we are considering squares from 1 to 20 but it is from 11 to 20.
So, t n=20 then the sum of 1 to 20 is subtracted.
