OR

Please state either the 1st or the 2nd one is correct.

Thanks for helping a friend in need,

The 2nd one is correct. If you include the -s to the auxiliary there's no need to add it to the main verb.

The second. You can't use the present marker s more than once in the same verb phrase. The same is true of the past marker d. That's why "Did this flower produced a good smell" is also incorrect.
