We can see the symmetry of expression about 95 and calculate the expression orally!! ( 95 + 4 ) 2 + ( 95 + 3 ) 2 + ( 95 + 2 ) 2 + ( 95 + 1 ) 2 + ( 95 ) 2 + ( 95 1 ) 2 + ( 95 2 ) 2 + ( 95 3 ) 2 + ( 95 4 ) 2 \large\color{#D61F06}{(95+4)^2}+\color{#0C6AC7}{(95+3)^2}+\color{#456461}{(95+2)^2} +\\ \large \color{#624F41}{(95+1)^2}+(95)^2 +\color{#624F41}{(95-1)^2}+\\\large\color{#456461}{(95-2)^2}+\color{#0C6AC7}{(95-3)^2}+\color{#D61F06}{(95-4)^2} = 9 × ( 95 ) 2 + 2 ( 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + 4 2 ) \large=9\times(95)^2+2(1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2) = 81225 + 60 = 81285 \large =81225+60=\boxed{81285}


N O T E : Use ( a + b ) 2 + ( a b ) 2 = 2 ( a 2 + b 2 ) on similar coloured terms 9 5 2 = ( 9 × 10 ) 25 = 9025 \color{#302B94}{\boxed{\mathcal{NOTE:-}\\ \bullet~\text{Use} (a+b)^2+(a-b)^2=2(a^2+b^2) \\\text{ on similar coloured terms}\\\bullet~ 95^2=\overline{(9\times 10)} 25=9025 }}
