IMO E
if employees are 15 and 16 condition a) is satisfied
if employees are 15 and 16 condition b) is also satisfied
Combining also 15 and 16 satisfies.
So answer is E.

(2) If no additional employees are hired by the company and 5 of the present employees resign, there will be fewer than 13 employees in the company.
The answer is E. This problem is probably best solved by writing out the inequalities.
Let's call the initial number of employees x.
Statement 1:
\(x+5\geq20\)
\(x\geq15\)
Insufficient.
Statement 2:
\(x-5<13\)
\(x<18\)
Insufficient.
Combined:
\(15\leq x<18\)
x can be any of {15, 16, 17}.
Insufficient.
