The Logic is:

First Number² + First Number = Second Number

25 : 650 → 25 : 25² + 25 = 625 + 25 = 650

Similarly,

21 : ? → 21 : 21² + 21 = 462

⇒ ? = 441 + 21

⇒ ? = 462

Hence, '462' is the correct answer.

Given expression,

84% of 9600 + 48% of 6900 = ? + 50% of 2000

⇒ (84/100) × 9600 + (48/100) × 6900 = ? + (50/100) × 2000

⇒ 84 × 96 + 48 × 69 = ? + 50 × 20

⇒ 8064 + 3312 = ? + 1000

⇒ 11376 = ? + 1000

⇒ ? = 11376 - 1000 = 10376

• Example: recycling of glass can be made to produce new glass jars and bottles or tiles.
