Question stem condensed in below form.
Is no. of candidate in round (1-3)< no. of candidate in round (3-5)
Now first note that 3rd round candidates are common so they doesn't matter in counting

Ok. Proceed now.

Statement 1:
Avg 1-2< avg 4-5
means total of 1-2 < total of 4-5
sufficient.

Statement 2:
20 contestants in round 1-2
not sufficient.

A is answer.

Why statement 1 is sufficient?, we don't know about round 2 to 3.
we know about round 2. round 3 doesn't matter since it is in both.
hope it's clear
Yes, you are right I haven't taken into an account that 3 was in both.

Thank you.
