Mayankji... See how I moved those three toothpicks ...

See my Second post with diagram...

3 squares can be made by moving only 2 toothpicks.... remove the 2 from the 1st row and place it on the ends of 2nd row..

Dear Archana,

If you have removed only 2 toothpicks, how come you create a square??

@ Mayank: It is a right question. Only the answer needs to be right!!
