This is one of the easiest puzzle,
watch it closely you will get to know the answer.

A puzzle is a game  or  a  problem that tests a person's knowledge.

Puzzles for adults emerged around 1900, and by 1908 a full-blown craze was in progress in the United States. Contemporary writers depicted the inexorable progression of the puzzle addict: from the skeptic who first ridiculed puzzles as silly and childish, to the perplexed puzzler who ignored meals while chanting just one more piece; to the bleary-eyed victor who finally put in the last piece in the wee hours of the morning.

The puzzles of those days were quite a challenge. Most had pieces cut exactly on the color lines. There were no transition pieces with two colors to signal, for example, that the brown area (roof) fit next to the blues (sky). A sneeze or a careless move could undo an evening's work because the pieces did not interlock. And, unlike children's puzzles, the adult puzzles had no guide picture on the box; if the title was vague or misleading, the true subject could remain a mystery until the last pieces were fitted into place.

Let's solve the above puzzle


watch it closely it has given as 5
because it has 5 squares(4 small squares and a big square).
As it is the question asked puzzle has 
14 squares (9+4+1)

So Answer for this is 14.
