$1^{2}+2\times 2^{2}+3^{3}+2\times 4^{2}+5^{2}+2\times 6^{2}+...$

Let n=2m

=> $1^{2}+2\times 2^{2}+3^{2}.+2.4^{2}+...$ to 2m terms= $\frac{2m(2m+1)}{2}$

$\therefore$ Now sum of odd terms is

$S_{odd}=(1^{2}+2.2^{2}+3^{2}+2.4^{2}+...2m\:terms)+(2m+1^{2})$

$=\frac{2m(2m+1)^{2}}{2}+(2m+1)^{2}$

$\therefore \frac{(n-1)(n)^{2}}{2}+n^{2}$ $[2m+1=n, \:2m=n-1]$

=> $\frac{n^{2}}{2}(n+1)$
