S={1,2,3,.........,441}&X is a subset of S that no two member of X is a square less or equal to 21^2.What is the largest number of elements can X have?

this may go thus:

in $S$ there are $21$ squares.which all are less or equal to $21^2$ . again, we can have a square number like that. so the answers is $441-21+1=420$ which is the highest number of elements of $X$
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]

This solution is not correct...
eg 2+7=9... A SQUARE!!

The solution might be 221... But need a full solution!!

vaia, i could not get where the problem is :? because the problem says "X is a subset of S that no two member of X is a square less or equal to 21^2"
the meaning of this i got is such "there is only one number in X which is less or equal to $21^2$ at most"
as it doesn't say 'summation or total of two numbers less or equal to $21^2$'

আচ্ছা এখানে X এর ২টি সদস্যকে কি যোগ করতে বলেছে? যদি না বলে তাহলে নাফিসেরটা সঠিক :) টা না হলে আরো ঝামেলা আচে।

আগে বলবেন না ! এখন তো অনেক জটিল হয়ে গেল । :cry:
এখন, প্রতিটা বর্গ সংখ্যার partition বের করে সেগুলো বাদ দিতে হবে ।
অর্থাৎ,
$x^2=y+z$ হলে $y$ আর $z$ একসাথে থাকা যাবে না । আমি brute force ছাড়া তো পথ দেখতেছি না।

may be this is the solution :
as it is said that summation of no two numbers can be $\leq 21^2$ and the largest member of $S$ id $441$
so the answer will be
\[\left \lfloor \frac{21^2}{2} \right \rfloor+1=221\]

i think there is some incompleteness of the solution :? .but, probably the way is right.

the incompleteness is we can add another number.which is $441$
so, the answer is
\[222\]

:D
