    979.

    17-1 = 16 = Square of 4.
    98-17 = 81 = Square of 9.
    354-98 = 256 = Square of 16.

    So, 4,9,16 becomes a new series with increments with digits in order of: 5, 7..
    i.e., increments with +2. So next digit is 5,7,9,– (7+2 = 9)

    Hence, add this 9 to 16 gives 25. So square of 25 is 625.

    Add 625 to 354 which gives 979.
