A) 24
B) 25
C) 26
D) 27
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] |
There are five squares in the upper row of the main figure namely\[\square AEQM\],\[\square EGRQ\],\[\square GISR\], \[\square IKTS\], \[\square KBNT.\] |
Hence, there are fifteen squares, five in each row of the main figure. |
Similarly, there are total eight squares\[-\]Four in each bigger row formed by combining two rows at a time of the main figure i.e. \[\square AOVG\],\[\square EUWI\] \[,\square GVXK\],\[\square \,IWPB,\]\[\square \,MDHR,\]\[\square QFJS\],\[\square RHLT\]and \[\square \,SJCN,\]finally there are three squares \[\square \,A\,IJD,\]\[\square \,EKLF,\] and \[\square \,GBCJ,\] from the main figure. |
Hence, there are a total of 26 squares in the figure. |
Shortcut method |
Number of squares |
\[=(5\times 3)+(4\times 2)+(3\times 1)+(2\times 0)\] |
\[=15+8+3+0=26\] |
