Bunuel : I think you have attached wrong image with the question. Attached image contains a square, triangle and pentagon.

Well here we don't require the images as give R,S and T are squares.

Solution:
Three squares R, S, T are shown above. The area of R is twice the area of S, and the area of S is twice the area of T. If the area of S is 1, what is the sum of the areas of all the three squares?

R =2S and S = 2T
Given area of square S =1 => $$R=2$$ and $$T=\frac{1}{2}$$
$$R+S+T = 1+2+\frac{1}{2} = 7/2 = 3\frac{1}{2}$$
