  1. If 1² + 2² + 3² ...... + x² = =
    x(x + 1) (2x + 1)
    then 1² + 3² + 5² + ..... 19² is equal to
    2

    1. 1330
    2. 2100
    3. 2485
    4. 2500
Correct Option: A

From the question ,

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

∴ 1² + 3² + 5² + ..... + 19² = (1² + 2² + 3² + ..... + 20²) – (2² + 4² + ..... + 20²)
∴ 1² + 3² + 5² + ..... + 19² =
20(20 + 1)(40 + 1)
– 2² (1² + 2² + ..... + 10²)
6

Required answer =
20 × 21 × 41
-
4 × 10 (10 + 1)(20 + 1)
66

Required answer = 2870 – 1540 = 1330
