Detailed Solution

When phenolphthalein is used from the beginning then,
$Milliequivalents of Acid = Milliequivalents of (NaOH + \frac{1}{2} {Na}_{2} {CO}_{3}) 1 \times 1 \times V (in mL) = (1 \times 20 \times 1) + \frac{(1 \times 20 \times 2)}{2} V (in mL) = 40 mL$
Similarly, after I^st end point, using methyl orange:
