Club X has more than 10 but fewer than 40 members. Sometimes the members sit at tables with 3 members at one table and 4 members at each of the other tables, and sometimes they sit at tables with 3 members at one table and 5 members at each of the other tables. If they sit at tables with 6 members at each table except one and fewer than 6 members at that one table, how many members will be at the table that has fewer than 6 members?

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 5

If they sit at tables with 6 members at each table except one and fewer than 6 members at that one table, how many members will be at the table that has fewer than 6 members?
Say, the number of members of the club = n
Hence, 10 < n < 40

n = (Multiple of 4 + 3)
n = (Multiple of 5 + 3)

Hence, (n - 3) is multiple of both 4 and 5, i.e. multiple of 20.
Hence, n is 3 more than a multiple of 20.

Only possible value of n is 23.

Now, the remainder when 23 is divided by 6 is 5.

The correct answer is E.

I think I had difficulty with understanding the questions stem :(

Can you please clarify what does "the members sit at tables with 3 members at one table and 4 members" really mean?

I understood that the sitting arrangement is as follows: /3/ /3/ /3/ /3/... /1/ /1/ /1/ /1/
where / / represents a table

"3 members at one table and 4 members at each of the other tables"

This means in only one table there are 3 members and all the other tables have 4 members each.
Hence, if there are x tables, then in one table there are 3 members and in the rest (x - 1) tables have 4 members each.
Therefore, total number of members = 3*1 + 4*(x - 1) = (4x - 1) = (Multiple of 4 - 1) = (Multiple of 4 + 3)

Hope that helps.

I am confused with the stem. How is the information about number of members (10<n<40) important? What if there is a club with max number of members (40) or min number of members (10)? Is it possible to start from this information?

This assumes that each time, the number of members that attend the club is constant, while the number of tables available to them varies.

This is not very realistic: it is much more likely that the number of attendees varies every time as opposed to removing some of the tables available to them.

That's definitely a realistic objection, but not one that the GMAT would heed: the scenario is the scenario, unfortunately.
