    Question

    The sum of the square of the first ten natural numbers is:

    A.

    3025

    B.

    5050

    C.

    385

    D.

    55

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    First ten natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
    Formula Used:
    Sum of squares of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)(2n+1)6\frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1) }{6}​​
    Solution:
    Sum =10(10+1)(2×10+1)6=10×11×216Sum =23106=385\text {Sum }= \frac {10(10 + 1)(2×10 + 1)}{ 6} = \frac{10 × 11 × 21}{ 6}\\\text {Sum } = \frac { 2310}{6} = 385\\​​
    Alternate Solution:
    You can directly calculate the sum by adding the squares of individual numbers:
    1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² + 6² + 7² + 8² + 9² + 10² = 385
