here 100 × 100 100\times100 squares appears 1 time. 99 × 99 99\times99 squares appears 4 times 98 × 98 98\times98 square appears 9 times . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 × 1 1\times1 appears 10000[100 X100] times therefore we must implicate n 2 \sum n^2 formula n 2 = n ( n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) 6 \sum n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} = > n 2 = 100 ( 100 + 1 ) ( 200 + 1 ) 6 =>\sum n^2 = \frac{100(100+1)(200+1)}{6} = > n 2 = 100 × 101 × 201 6 =>\sum n^2 = \frac{100\times101\times201}{6} = > n 2 = 338350 =>\sum n^2=338350 therefore the no. of squares in a 100 × 100 100\times100 chess board is 338350

S (n) = (1/ 6) n (n + 1) (2 n + 1)

S (100) = 338350
