$\left(1^{2}+5^{2}+9^{2}+\ldots \ldots\right.$ upto 20 terms$)+(3+7+11+\ldots$upto 20 terms)
$=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20}(4 \mathrm{r}-3)^{2}+\sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20}(4 \mathrm{r}-1)$
$=\sum_{r=1}^{20}(4 r-3)^{2}+(4 r-1)$
$=4 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20}\left(4 \mathrm{r}^{2}-5 \mathrm{r}+2\right)$
$=16 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20} \mathrm{r}^{2}-20 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20} \mathrm{r}+8 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{20} 1=41880$
