Clearly the expression is basically the formula for sum of 1st n squares but without the "6" in the denominator.
So options 1,2,4 are true.
And about 237
The above expression will obviously be divisible by 237
When n= 237 as it will be 237*238*475 In fact even for n = 236 and n = 118 it will be divisible by 237.
