He had achieved a highest speed of 250 w.p.m. in Shorthand.

The given number series is 

71      88       113       150       203          277

   +17    +25       +37      +53        +74

        +8      +12        +16       +21

            +4          +4         +5

The series should be  71  88  112   150    203   276 i.e, the differences of the difference should be +4.

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 277.

Here the number follows the given rule 

 $$\begin{gathered} 23-1, 33-1, 43-1, 53-1, ... \\ \end{gathered}$$

But 28 has been given in problem series.

so 28 is wrong number.
