• PPS has already corrected the statement and given the answer.
  
  The number should satisfy the eqn 25x+8 = 28y+22 = number of sweets in options.

• C. 358
  
  Let the total number of sweets be (25x + 8).
  
  Then, (25x + 8) - 22 is divisible by 28
  
  (25x - 14) is divisible by 28 28x - (3x + 14) is divisible by 28
  
  (3x + 14) is divisible by 28 x = 14.
  
  Therefore Total number of sweets = (25 x 14 + 8) = 358.
