  1. Given that 1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n² =
    n(n + 1) (2n + 1)
    , then
    6
    10² + 11² + 12² + .... + 20² is equal to
    1. 2616
    2. 2585
    3. 3747
    4. 2555
Correct Option: B

Given in question ,
1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n²

=
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
6

∴ 10² + 11² + 12² + .... + 20² = (1² + 2² + 3² + .... + 20²) – (1² + 2² + 3² + ... + 9²)
Required answer =
20(20 + 1)(40 + 1)
-
9(9 + 1)(18 + 1)
66

Required answer =
20 × 21 × 41
-
9 × 10 × 19
66

∴ Required answer = 2870 – 285 = 2585
