Dr. G. D. Bist, Guinness Record Holder, the first-ever Ph.D. in Stenography in the world.

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 there are combination of two series.

 1) 9, 18, 36, 72, 144

 2) 8, 6, 4, 2, 0

Therefore, The next number in the given series is 0.

$$\begin{gathered} 13 x ? + 47 x 114 x 539 = 31100 x 2000 \\ ? = 378 x 3 \\ ? = 1134 \end{gathered}$$

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

It follows a pattern that

3

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168

Hence, the wrong number is 67.

Epsom is a market town in Surrey, England, 22.0 km south-west of London.

Epsom Downs Racecourse holds The Derby, now a generic name for sports competitions in English-speaking countries. The town also gives its name to Epsom salts, extracted from mineral waters there.

Within the centuries-old boundaries is Epsom Downs Racecourse which features two of the five English Classic horse races; The Derby and The Oaks, which were first run in 1780 and 1779 respectively.

The given series follows the pattern that,

×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

So the missing number is 980 .
