Sum of first K even-length Palindrome numbers

Description
Discussion

Given a integer k, find the sum of first k even-length palindrome numbers. 
Even length here refers to the number of digits of a number is even.

 

A naive approach will be to check every even length number, if it is a palindrome number then we sum it up. We repeat the same process for first K even length palindrome numbers and sum them up to get the sum.

 

In this case complexity will go high as even length numbers are from 10-99 and then 1000-9999 and then so on… 
10-99, 1000-9999, 100000-999999.. has 9, 90, 900 respectively palindrome numbers in them, so to check k numbers we have to check a lot of numbers which will not be efficient enough.
Examples: 
 

Input : k = 3
Output : 66
Explanation: 11 + 22 + 33  = 66 (Sum 
of first three even-length palindrome 
numbers)
