The given number series is 5, 8, 40, 90, 664

5

5 - 1 x 2 = 8

8 - 3 x 4 = 20 (NOT 40)

20 - 5 x 6 = 90

90 - 7 x 8 = 664

The pattern is x1+3, x 2, x1+3, x 3, x1+3, x 4

The next number=60x4=240

The given number series is 3, 5, 13, 43, 167

3

3 x 1 + 2 = 5

5 x 2 + 3 = 13

13 x 3 + 4 = 43

43 x 4 + 5 = 177 (not equal to 167)

Hence, the odd number in the given number sequence is 167. 

The given series follows the pattern that

So the missing number is  37 + 38 = 75

130 = (45x3) - 5

(?) = (130x3) + 7

=> (?) = 397

1182 = (397x3) - 9

Thus, the missing number is 397.
