Solution Steps

Step 1: Simplify the Equation

The given equation is

\[ -10 \sin x = 5 \sqrt{3} \]

First, divide both sides by \(-10\) to isolate \(\sin x\):

\[ \sin x = -\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{10} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

Step 2: Determine the Reference Angle

The reference angle for \(\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) is \(60^\circ\). Since \(\sin x\) is negative, we need to find angles in the third and fourth quadrants.

Step 3: Find the Angles in the Specified Interval

In the third quadrant, the angle is:

\[ 180^\circ + 60^\circ = 240^\circ \]

In the fourth quadrant, the angle is:

\[ 360^\circ - 60^\circ = 300^\circ \]

Final Answer

The solutions to the equation \(-10 \sin x = 5 \sqrt{3}\) in the interval \([0^\circ, 360^\circ)\) are:

\[ \boxed{240^\circ, 300^\circ} \]

Thus, the answer is B.
