And it is saying squares not square so how can you count it as 1 @hartnn

anonymous · Answer

So it can be 43 also..

lgbasallote · Answer

no.seriously

hartnn · Answer

how 42?....if considered plural,then there will be ambiguity of how many....i just saw 'square' and counted it as one...

lgbasallote · Answer

but no seriously it's 40....41 is just a corny joke :p

anonymous · Answer

"Squares" ,  I think written there ..

hartnn · Answer

the question is framed in such a manner....if it were serious ques,then it would be 'how many squares in figure below'....and not 'in this pic'

anonymous · Answer

I think you are taking it somewhere else..
