The answer is neither 1 nor 2.

Option one says 80%are spinners. No, according to the statement, 160 runs made by spinners doesn't mean 80% are spinners in the team here, runs are 80%over the total 200 not about spinners' count in the team.

Statement 2 also does not follow because batting started by spinners, how can we say that according to statement no right.

So, I feel neither option 1 nor 2 follows.
