  Many things will influence my decision, and any decision will be biased...
  
  If I know and care about someone in group A, I would save group A regardless of the number/age/status of people in the other group...
  
  If I don't know or care about anyone in both groups, I may very well flip a coin to be honest and I wouldn't lose sleep over it...
  
  Sure I could arbitrarily save the group with the highest number of people, but why? Because 20 is better than 5? Because utilitarians would expected it of me? Meh....

  you realize that mostly that would depend upon the circumstances, as well as the people, and the type of disaster; however, I would probably save the five people because of the time would be lesser to do so; saving 20 would take far longer and put myself into jeopardy.@ZeusAres42

  Unless I know something about these people not described in the question that could influence my decision strongly, I'm going to go by the numbers and save the 20 people.
  
  If, say, those 5 people were my relatives, while the 20 people contained only people I have never seen in my life, then I would go with the 5.
