The problem seems to be wrong !!! My reason :-
All 4 sides of each square are equal. Therefore........
D + I = H + I..................................................H = D
B + C + D = B + G + H...................................C = G
C = B + 1 ...........C + 1 = G+ 1 = B ..<...> C = B - 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN ANY ONE HELP ??

the resulting figure is not a square, it is a rectangle, your first 2 deductions come from assuming that the resulting figure is a square. that is flawed
1=5 2=25 3=125 4=625 5=?
the answer is you lol
Start with the area around the smallest rectangle. We see immediately that (using small letters to denote length of the corresponding squares), f + 1 = g , g + 1 = b , 1 + b = c , 1 + c = e + f . From these equations we can get e = 4 and b = f + 2 , c = f + 3 .
The picture also shows that d = c + e = f + 7 and i = d + e = f + 1 1 . Moreover h = f + g = 2 f + 1 . Now the width of the rectangle can be expressed both as d + i and as b + g + h . Therefore it must hold that f + 7 + f + 1 1 = f + 2 + f + 1 + 2 f + 1 , which implies that f = 7 . Plugging this back into other equations we get i = 1 8 , h = 1 5 and d = 1 4 . Therefore the width of the rectangle is d + i = 3 2 and its height is i + h = 3 3 and the resulting area turns out to be 3 2 ⋅ 3 3 = 1 0 5 6 .
Yeah! This is an UKJMO question :)
G=f+1 ,B=f+2 ,C=f+3 = f-1+E then e=4 ,D=c+4 = f+7 ,H=f+f+1=2f+1 ,I=d+4 = f+11 then width of triangle = i+D = f+18 ....1 ,Also Width of triangle = b+g+h = 4f+4 ..... 2 ,From 1& 2 f= 7 ,Length = d+c+b=3f+12 ,Then width = 32 & length = 33 ,Then area of rectangle = 33x32 = 1056 #
Suppose side of square B is x.
B=x
C=B+side of smallest square =x+1
G=B-side of smallest square=x-1
F=G-side of smallest square=x-2
E=C+side of smallest square-F =>x+1+1-x+2 i.e E=4
D=C+E i.e D=x+5
I=D+E i.e I=x+9
H=I+E-F =>H=x+9+4-x+2 =>H=15
F+G=H =>x-1+x-2=15=>2x-3=15=>x=9
Side A of rectangle=B+G+H=x+x-1+15=2x+14=32
Side B of rectangle=I+H=x+9+15=33
Area of rectangle= 32*33=1056

b = 1 + g
g = f + 1
b = 2 + f
c = b + 1
c = 2 + f + 1
c = 3 + f
d = e + c
d = e + 3 + f
d = 3 + e + f
h = f + g
h = 2f + 1
i = e + d
i = 2e + 3 + f
vertical sides give d + c + b = i + h
subtituting values result to e = 4
horizontal sides give b + g + h = d + i
subtituting values result to f = 7
then
b = 9 ; c = 10 ; d = 14 ; g = 8 ; h = 15 ; i = 18
sides are 33 x 32
area = 1056
