Explanation

The pattern alternates between adding 50 and 30: 61+50=111, 111+30=141, 141+50=191 (but given 195), 191+30=221, 221+50=271 (but given 250). The series breaks at 195 and 250. However, the claimed wrong term is 250. Looking more carefully, if we start with 61 and follow +50, +30: 61, 111, 141, 191, 221, 271. Both 195 and 250 are wrong, but 250 is in the options and is indeed incorrect.
