    Question

    Which of the integers 10, 11, 12, and 13 can be written as the sum of squares of four integers (allowing repetition)?

    A.

    Only 10

    B.

    Only 10 and 11

    C.

    Only 10, 11, and 12

    D.

    All

    Correct option is D

    Concept:
    Lagrange's four square theorem - Lagrange's four square theorem, states that every natural number can be represented as a sum of four non - negative integer square.
    Solution:
    By using Lagrange's four square theorem all integers can be written as the sum of squares of four integers.
    10 = 3² + 1²
    11 = 3² + 1² + 1²
    12 = 3² + 1² + 1² + 1²
    13 = 3² + 2²
    Hence, Option (d) is true.
