62525

up to 49 brackets, number of numbers covered will be
1+2+3+...+49= 49*50/2= 1225

50th bracket will have numbers 1226,1227,.......1275 (50 numbers)

sum of these 50 numbers will be (50/2)*(1226+1275)= 26*2501=62525

We take the 1st term of every bracket i.e. 1,2,4,7,11,16,.....
We can generalize this series as [{n(n-1)/2}+1]=(n^2-n+2)/2
So, we can find the 1st term of 50th bracket as (50^2-50+2)/2 = 1226
So we may write 50th bracket as (1226 1227 1228 1229 . . .)
Its an A.P. sum of terms in 50th bracket = (50/2)[{2*1226)+(50-1)*1]
= 25*2501=62525.Ans

This follows Sigma n series, In 4th bracket Last term 10 = 4*5/2 therefore in 50th bracket the last term will be 50*51/2 = 1275.
We have to add previous 49 terms with 1275 (There will be 50 terms in 50th bracket)
Then Answer is 62525
