Question

What is the sum of the squares of all two-digit numbers each of which is completely divisible by 4?

A.

78300

B.

78324

C.

78320

D.

78220

Correct option is C

Given:
We need to find the sum of the squares of all two-digit numbers that are divisible by 4.
Formula Used:

i=1ki2=k(k+1)(2k+1)6\sum_{i=1}^k i^2 = \frac{k(k + 1)(2k + 1)}{6}

n-th term of an arithmetic sequence:
an=a1+(n1)da_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
Solution:
The sequence is 12, 16, 20,....., 96  with a common difference d = 4 .​
an=96,a1=12a_n = 96, a_1 = 12, and d = 4:
96 = 12 + (n - 1)× \times ​4
84 = (n - 1)× \times​ 4
n - 1 = 21

n = 22
Total numbers =  22
The sum of squares of the numbers = ​122+162+202++96212^2 + 16^2 + 20^2 + \ldots + 96^2​​
This can be written as = ​(4×3)2+(4×4)2+(4×5)2++(4×24)2(4 \times 3)^2 + (4 \times 4)^2 + (4 \times 5)^2 + \ldots + (4 \times 24)^2​​

= 16×(32+42+52++242)6 \times (3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + \ldots + 24^2)
i=124i2i=12i2=24×25×496(1+4)\sum_{i=1}^{24} i^2 - \sum_{i=1}^2 i^2 = \frac{24 \times 25 \times 49}{6} - (1 + 4)​​
= 4900 - 5 = 4895
Now,  multiply by 16:
16×4895=7832016 \times 4895 = 78320
