Let's break down the sequence:

- Start with 95.

- Subtract 22 to get 73.

- Subtract 20 to get 53.

To find the pattern, note the decrement:

1. 95 - 22 = 73.

2. 73 - 20 = 53.

If the pattern dictates that each subtraction decreases by 2 less, the next one will be a subtraction of 18.

- Subtract 18 from 53:

53 - 18 = 35 (Option:3)

Now, continue the pattern to verify:

- Subtract 16 from 35 to confirm with 19.

- Subtract 14 from 19 to confirm with 5.

Correct Answer is Option:3 - 35
