Rahul's confusing square root

Level pending

If 1+3+5= 3 2 3^{2} and 1+3+5+7= 4 2 4^{2} then 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9............ + 99 \sqrt{1+3+5+7+9............+99} = ?


The answer is 50.

1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + + ( 2 n 1 ) = n 2 = ( 1 + ( 2 n 1 ) 2 ) 2 \color{#D61F06}{1+3+5+7+\dotsm+(2n-1)=n^2=\left(\frac{1+(2n-1)}{2}\right)^2} So 1 + 3 + 5 + + 99 = ( 1 + 99 2 ) 2 = 5 0 2 = 50 \color{#20A900}{\sqrt{1+3+5+\dotsm+99}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1+99}{2}\right)^2}=\sqrt{50^2}=\boxed{50}}

We know that sum of N N odd numbers is N 2 N^2
Here N = ( 99 + 1 ) 2 = 50 1 + 3 + . . . . . + 99 = 5 0 2 1 + 3 + . . . . + 99 = 50 N = \frac{(99 + 1)} {2} = 50\\ 1 + 3 + ..... + 99 = 50^2\\ \sqrt{1 + 3 + .... + 99} = 50
