30%

18%

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

We are looking for the minimum possible number of votes that Ramya can get when she runs an attacking
campaign.
To minimise the number of votes, we can have Ramya run a staid campaign to minimise the votes, so minimum
intensity, which will get her 20% of the votes if she ran with issues. Now that she is running with attacking, she
will loose 20% of the votes to Amiya and 5% of the votes will not vote anymore.
That is a total 25% loss. Remaining votes she will get is 75% of the 20% which will leave her with 15% of the
votes.
