The squares composed of four components each are ACMK, BDNL, CEOM, FHRP, GISQ, HJTR, KMWU, LNXV and MOYW i.e. 9 in number.
The squares composed of nine components each are ADSP, BETQ, FIXU and GJYV i.e. 4 in number.

Give the number to rows and columns. As 1234 are rows and 1234 are columns. Then,
4x4 = 16.
3x3 = 9.
2x2 = 4.
1x1 = 1.
Add 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30.
So, the Answer is 30.
4x4 = 16.
3x3 = 9.
2x2 = 4.
1x1 = 1.
Add 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30.
So, the Answer is 30.
