and 132=11^2+11,56=7^2+7,30=5^2+5.so 1st term should be 12=3^2+3....
hartnn (hartnn):
then u'll have 2^2+2=6
OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):
yep..or in other words,,its equilvalent to 11*12 , 5*6 , 7*8 ...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@mathslover is 92 the answer
mathslover (mathslover):
2^2 +2 , 1^2+1 , 5^2 +5 , 3^2+1, 11^2+11 , 5^2 + 1
hence the answer is 26

I think this was too much complicated and 'bad' I will post better one soon
Parth (parthkohli):
Yeah, it really was much too complicated. =/
hartnn (hartnn):
but 26 was already there ....so next would be 7^2+1 = 50 ,isn't it?
