election?

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

If both Ramya and Amiya run staid campaigns, the intensity of each staid campaign is 1
So total number of voters that would vote for them if they focused on issues will be 20x(1+1)%=40%
This means if they had both ran regarding issues, then they would get 20% of votes each.
We are told that both of them run attacking campaigns,
And the rule for mutual attacking campaign is 10% of voters who would have voted for each candidate will not
vote.
That means 10% of 20% of each candidate will not vote, now that it is a mutually attacking campaign.
That means, each candidate receives 18% of the votes.
Total votes received is 36%.
