Computer How to find multiple strings on different lines in file?

Hello,

I have spent considerable amount of time breaking my head on this and reached out here. here is the back ground.

OS - Solaris 10

There are two strings '<Orin>sop' and '<Dup>two' which I wanted to look for in a file without the quotes on different lines and ONLY if both strings are present then give me count or output something as I just need to know if both are present or not.

Can someone advise on how to do this?

FYI - tried below but its acting more an OR condition and giving output if atleast one of the string is found.

Code:
egrep -e '<Orin>sop|<Dup>two' /opt/SampleData.txt
