Hello Sir no solution is a proper solution Every solution is a creativity of the mind itself.................................... Ponder about it...........
Pretty easy actually. 49=7^2 4489=67^2 444889=667^2 hence we see, for the number of 8's there are same number of 6's in the sq root. Hence there are 2014 6's and one 7 at the end of the sq root of the given term their sum=2014*6+7=12091
There is nothing special here about 2014 or 2015, mathematically speaking, so we see the general case. After playing around a bit, we notice a pattern given below.
We use induction to prove that f ( n ) = n − 1 6 6 … 6 7 2 = n 4 4 … 4 n − 1 8 8 … 8 9 ; n ∈ N
As usual, we prove the statement to be true for n = 1 and assume it to
be true for n = 2 , 3 , … , k , and then prove it for n = k + 1 .
Notice that f ( 3 ) − f ( 2 ) = 4 4 4 8 8 9 − 4 4 8 9 = 4 4 0 4 0 0 , and also that 6 6 7 2 − 6 7 2 = ( 6 6 7 − 6 7 ) ( 6 6 7 + 6 7 ) = ( 6 0 0 ) ( 7 3 4 ) = 4 4 0 4 0 0 . So if we can show that f ( k + 1 ) − f ( k ) = k + 1 4 4 … 4 k 8 8 … 8 9 − k 4 4 … 4 k − 1 8 8 … 8 9 , we're done.
f ( k + 1 ) − f ( k ) = k 6 6 … 6 7 2 − k − 1 6 6 … 6 7 2 = ( k 6 6 … 6 7 − k − 1 6 6 … 6 7 ) ( k 6 6 … 6 7 + k − 1 6 6 … 6 7 ) = ( 6 × 1 0 k ) ( 7 k − 1 3 3 … 3 4 ) = 6 × 7 k − 1 3 3 … 3 4 × 1 0 k = 4 4 k − 1 0 0 … 0 4 k 0 0 … 0 = k + 1 4 4 … 4 k 8 8 … 8 9 − k 4 4 … 4 k − 1 8 8 … 8 9 .

Can anyone give a proper solution? I found it by pattern.
