9 members can go to island without getting wet.

jagadeesheedubp13c4q: The answer is 13. Since 20 minutes are available, after 18 min one more trip can be made.

10 people because the safety boat can fit in 5 persons in a go and to come back to the rescue, it needs 9 minutes. so for the other 9 minutes it'll take the other 5 and that's why the answer is 10..

kaurSneha: Sry but ans is 9 bcoz after living 5 member 1 should go back to take back another members

Etnik: Its 15 cus for 20mins the boat goes back and forth 2times and after second time comming back it can make one last trip to island which will take 4.5mins yet they dont get wet
