A man agrees to refund the loan of Tk. 20 0 0 in some parts. Each part is Tk. 2
more than the previous part. If the first part is Tk. 1, in how many parts will the
man be able to refund that amount?
Determinaton of the sum of Squares of the first n numbers of Natural Numbers
Let Sn be the number of squares of the first n numbers of natural numbers
i.e.,Sn 12 22 32 n^2
We know,
r^3 3 r^2 3 r 1 (r 1 )^3
or, r^3 (r 1 )^3 3 r^2 3 r 1
In the above identity, putting, r 1 , 2 , 3 ,,n we get,
( 1 ) 3. 3. 1
3 2 3. 3 3. 3 1
2 1 3. 2 3. 2 1

Adding, we get,
