You are code gives segmentation fault because you are accessing memory after array index size.

To debug it I simply added two likes in you code to print n, i , j: 

if(b[i]<a[i])
{
    for(j=n;j>=i;j--)
    {
        a[j+1]=a[j];
    }
    a[i]=b[i];
    n = n+1;            "<---- 1 Correction need here"
    printf("In IF %d %d %d\n", i, j, n);
} 
else
{
    for(j=n;j>=i;j--)
    {
        a[j+1]=a[j];
    }
    a[i+1]=b[i];
    n++;              "<----2 Correction need here"   
    printf("In Else %d %d %d\n", i, j, n);
}

its output is: 

$ ./a.out 
In IF 0 -1 4
In Else 1 0 5
In Else 2 1 6
In Else 3 2 7
In Else 4 3 8     
In IF 5 4 9      
In IF 6 5 10        <--  i, j, n    "buffer overflow"
In IF 7 6 11        <--  i, j, n  
In IF 8 7 12        <--  i, j, n
In IF 20 11 13      <--  i, j, n
 3 4 5 10 13 5 5 10

Suggestion don’t change n in your loop change you logic on this
