A reminder of 3 when divided by 5 implies x = 5q + 3
A remainder of 4 when divided by 6 implies x = 6p + 4

We can derive a general formula for the total (of a type \(total=dk+r\), where \(d\) is the divisor and \(r\) is the remainder) based on the two formulas given: x = 5q + 3 (3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, ... ) and x = 6p + 4 (4, 10, 16, 22, 28, ... ).

The divisor \(d\) would be the least common multiple of the two divisors 5 and 6, hence d = 30 and the remainder r would be the first common integer in the two patterns, hence r = 28.

So, the general formula based on both pieces of information is x = 30k + 28. We get:

200 < 30k + 28 < 800

172 < 30k < 772

5.something < k < 25.somehting

Thus, k can take 20 value from 6 to 25, inclusive, which means that x can also take 20 values from 208 to 778.

Answer: B.
