Abstract: Let $d(n)$ be the divisor function. In 1916, S. Ramanujan stated but without proof that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{nleq x}d^2(n)=xP(log x)+E(x), ${\displaystyle }$ where $P(y)$ is a cubic polynomial in $y$ and ${\displaystyle }$ E(x)=O(x^{{3over 5}+epsilon}), ${\displaystyle }$ where $epsilon$ is a sufficiently small positive constant. He also stated that, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis(RH), ${\displaystyle }$ E(x)=O(x^{{1over 2}+epsilon}). ${\displaystyle }$ In 1922, B. M. Wilson proved the above result unconditionally. The direct application of the RH would produce ${\displaystyle }$ E(x)=O(x^{1over 2}(log x)^5loglog x). ${\displaystyle }$ In 2003, K. Ramachandra and A. Sankaranarayanan proved the above result without any assumption. In this paper, we shall prove ${\displaystyle }$ E(x)=O(x^{1over 2}(log x)^5). ${\displaystyle }$
