Statements :

II. One-third of the speakers gave two speeches each.
Answer: Option E
From I, we find that number of speakers who attended programme =18-(1/6) of 18 = 15.
From II, we find that one-third of 15 i.e. 5 speakers gave 2 speeches each, while each of the remaining 10 speakers delivered only one speech.
So, total number of speeches delivered = (5 x 2 + 10 x 1) = 20.
