We want the minimum vote share, that means both the candidates run staid campaigns.
And, both the campaigns should be attacking, since we see that if one candidate runs an attacking campaign
whereas the other candidate runs an issues campaign, a fair number of voters get transferred to the other
candidate's vote share.
This points to us to a scenario where both the campaigns are staid and attacking, which is nothing but the
scenario described in the previous question.
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%, which is the minimum possible
