perfect squares from 1 to 100 = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100
the root of any number in between will be a ratio = 1.41, 1.73, 2.24, 2.65......
numbers between 1 and 4 = 2 [exclusive of the two numbers]
numbers between 4 and 9 = 4
numbers between 9 and 16 = 6 and so on
so we can write
[√1]+[√2]+[√3]+...+[√100]
= 1 +1x2 + 2 + 2x4 + 3 +3x6 + 4 + 4x8 + 5 + 5x10 + 6 +6x12 + 7 + 7x14 + 8 + 8x16 + 9 +9x18 + 10
or 1x3 + 2x5 + 3x7 +.........9X19 +10
First 9 terms form a series as where any term is:
Tn = n(2n+1)
= 2n^2 + n
Sum2(Tn) = 2(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + ......+9^2) + (1+2+3+....+9)
= 2(9x10x19)/6 + 45
=570+45 = 615
This is the sum of first 9 terms.
We also have 10th term = 10
So, sum of all terms = 625
