The sum of the squares of the lengths of the chords
intercepted on the circle, x2 + y2 = 16, by the lines,
x + y = n, n $$ \in $$ N, where N is the set of all natural
numbers, is :
210
160
320
105

Let the chord x + y = n cuts the circle x2 + y2 = 16 at A and B.
Length of perpendicular from O on AB,
OM = $$\left| {{{0 + 0 - n} \over {\sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} }}} \right| = {n \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$
Radius of the circle = 4
From the picture you can see,
$${n \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$ < 4
$$ \Rightarrow $$ n < 5.65
$$ \therefore $$ Possible value of n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Length of chord AB = $$2\sqrt {{{\left( 4 \right)}^2} - {{\left( {{n \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}} $$
= $$2\sqrt {16 - {{{n^2}} \over 2}} $$
= $$\sqrt {64 - 2{n^2}} $$ = $${l}$$
For n = 1, $${l^2}$$ = 62
For n = 2, $${l^2}$$ = 56
For n = 3, $${l^2}$$ = 46
For n = 4, $${l^2}$$ = 32
For n = 5, $${l^2}$$ = 14
$$ \therefore $$ Sum of square of length of chords = 62 + 56 + 46 + 32 + 14 = 210
