Find the sum of the squares of the first twelve positive multiples of 8.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The first twelve positive multiples of 8 are 8,16,…,968,16,\ldots,96.

Their sum of squares is 82(12+22+⋯+122)8^2(1^2+2^2+\cdots+12^2).

Using 12+22+⋯+n2=n(n+1)(2n+1)61^2+2^2+\cdots+n^2=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}:

64×12×13×256=64×650=4160064\times\dfrac{12\times13\times25}{6}=64\times650=41600.
