A trick to solve the x y 5 2 xy5^2 ( 1 ) (1) is to write 25 25 at the end of the result. x y × ( x y + 1 ) xy \times (xy+1) is the first 2 digits:

10 5 2 = ( 10 × 11 ) 25 = 11025 105^2=(10\times11) 25=11025

11 5 2 = ( 11 × 12 ) 25 = 13225 115^2=(11\times12) 25 = 13225

12 5 2 = ( 12 × 13 ) 25 = 15625 125^2=(12\times13) 25=15625

Wow! If we add them together, 1 1 is as same as 2 2 . Therefore:

( 1 ) + ( 2 ) = 2 × ( 11025 + 13225 + 15625 ) = 2 × 39875 = 79750 (1)+(2)=2\times(11025+13225+15625)=2\times39875=\boxed{79750}
