The number of squares and triangles in the following figure is

Select an option to attempt

1. A
   12 triangles, 4 squares
2. B
   16 triangles, 4 squares
3. C
   16 triangles, 5 squares
4. D
   12 triangles, 5 squares

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Counting geometric figures in the image

: Triangles come in multiple sizes — count systematically by size: small (1-unit), medium (2-unit), larger (3-unit), and largest spanning the whole figure = 16 triangles total. Squares: the outer boundary (1 large square), 4 smaller squares formed by internal lines = 5 squares total. Answer: 16 triangles, 5 squares.
