A number of apples and oranges are to be distributed evenly among a number of baskets. Each basket will contain at least one of each type of fruit. If there are 20 oranges to be distributed, what is the minimum number of apples needed so that every basket contains less than twice as many apples as oranges?
(1) If the number of baskets were halved and all other conditions remained the same, there would be twice as many oranges in every remaining basket.
(2) If the number of oranges were halved, it would no longer be possible to place an orange in every basket.

from statement 1: you could have the number of baskets to be 20, 10, 4, 2
Insuff
from statement 2: you could have the number of baskets to be between 11-20
20 oranges can not be evenly divided into each basket if the number of baskets is between 11-19, so 20 is the number of baskets, you need exactly 20 apples.
Although I am not sure about the stem of the question, "A number of apples and oranges are to be distributed evenly among a number of baskets"
Can you have 3 oranges and 1 apple in 1 basket, and 2 oranges and 2 apples in another basket?
