The thing that puzzles me, is why put "004" instead of 4?

My conclusion is possibly write the numbers backwards? In that case this would be the sequence:

576, 484, 400, 361

Yes, the answer should be 423 @Lakshya Singh

It follows the series of decreasing perfect squares writyem in reverse order.

no,the pattern follows as the reverse of $$24^2,22^2,20^2,$$ and then it should be $$18^2,?.$$the pattern $$24,22,20,18,?(16)$$

Oh ok that was my bad but 163 is the reverse order of $${19}^2$$ so this is wrong too XD
