$\\x^{2}+y^{2}=16\\\; \; \; x+y=n$

then length of perpendicular from centre $(0,0)$ to line $x+y=n = \left | \frac{0+0-n}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}}} \right |=\frac{n}{\sqrt{2}}$

length of intercepts =$2\sqrt{4^{2}-\frac{n^2}{(\sqrt{2})^{2}}}=2\sqrt{16-\frac{n^{2}}{2}}$

$=\sqrt{64-2n^{2}}$

Possible value of n are = $1,2,3,4,5$

Sum of squares of length =$\sum_{i=1}^{5}(\sqrt{64-2x^{2}})^{2}$

$=\sum_{i=1}^{5}(64-2x^{2})$

$=64\times5-2\; \; \; \sum_{i=1}^{5}n^{2}$

$=64\times5-2\; \; \; \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$

$=320-2\; \frac{5\times6\times11}{6}$

$=320-110$

$=210$

Option 1)

$105$

Option 2)

$210$

Option 3)

$160$

Option 4)

$320$
