Solution

The correct option is B 140
The sum of the squares of the first $n$ natural numbers is given by
$S_{n} = 1^{2} + 2^{2} + 3^{2} + . . . + n^{2}$
$= \frac{n (n + 1) (2 n + 1)}{6} .$

Here, $n = 7.$
$∴ S_{7} = 1^{2} + 2^{2} + 3^{2} + 4^{2} + . . . + 7^{2}$
$= \frac{7 (7 + 1) (2 \times 7 + 1)}{6}$
$= \frac{7 \times 8 \times 15}{6}$
$= 140$
Thus, $1^{2} + 2^{2} + 3^{2} + 4^{2} + . . . + 7^{2} = 140.$
