**Question 1**

Let \( P(n) \) be the statement that 

\[ 1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} \] 

for \( n = 1, 2, \ldots \). Which of the following statements is \( P(1) \)?

- \(\bigcirc \; 1^2 = \frac{1(1+1)(2+1)}{6}\)

- \(\bigcirc \; 0^2 = \frac{0(0+1)(0+1)}{6}\)

- \(\bigcirc \; 1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\)

- \(\bigcirc \; n = 1\)
