Detailed Solution

The number 100+n+100n  is  a positive integer if and only if its square is a perfect square. We have
100+n+100n2=100+n+100n+2100+n+100n
=200+210000n.
To minimize n, we should maximize the value of this expression, given that it is a perfect square. For this expression to be a perfect square, 10000n  must be an integer. Then   is even, and it 200+210000n is less than  200+210000=400=202. Therefore, the greatest possible perfect square value of 200+210000n  is 182=324.  Solving 
200+210000n=324
For n gives the answer,   n=6156.
