Question

DIRECTION for the question: In the following question, find the number of squares in the given figure.

• A. 32
• B. 30
• C. 29
• D. 28
• E. 42

Hint:

Use formula: \[ n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 \] to count squares in grids.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The figure represents a \(4 \times 4\) grid. Squares count: \[ 1 \times 1 = 16 \] \[ 2 \times 2 = 9 \] \[ 3 \times 3 = 4 \] \[ 4 \times 4 = 1 \] Total squares: \[ 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 \] Including additional overlapping squares gives: \[ 32 \]
