How many squares are there in the given figure?

12 9 24 18

18

The logic followed here is; Row's highest number= 03 Column's highest number= 03 So, 03x03= 09       02x02= 04       01x01= 01         0x0= 0 And, there are 04 more squares which are; LMNO, PQRS, NOTU, VWXY Therefore, the total number of squares are 09+04+01+04= 18 squares.
