Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?5, 8, 19, 36, 75, ?

Let's find the pattern behind the given series:$5\times 2-2=10-2=8$$8\times 2+3=16+3=19$$19\times 2-2=38-2=36$$36\times 2+3=72+3=75$ Following this alternating pattern of $(\times 2-2)$ and $(\times 2+3)$, the next operation must be $(\times 2-2)$:$75\times 2-2=150-2=148$ Thus, the missing number is 148.
