first we assign number to grid in this form
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

now,there r 2 ways(either red or blue) to fill position 1,but position 9 has 1ways(same color as in position 1)
similarly position 2 has 2 ways & position 8 has 1 way
similarly position 4 has 2 ways & position 6 has 1 way
similarly position 7 has 2 ways & position 3 has 1 way
& position 5 have 2 ways
so total possibility=2*1*2*1*2*1*2*1*2=32
ans is 32

1 3 2
4 5 4
2 3 1
This grid even rotated 180 degrees the relative positions of the tiles do not change. So we paint tile number 1's with red or blue (only one color should be used) , 2's with red or blue.....tile 5 red or blue. Then total possibilities are 25 = 32
