Answer:
let total votes be x
votes for divya=D
votes for rakhi=R
votes for divya - votes for rakhi=.12x--------1
votes for divya + votes for rakhi=x----------2
subtracting 1 from 2
2(votes for rakhi)=.88x
2×132000=.88x
264000=.88x
x=264000/.88=300000
votes received by Divya=300000-132000=168000
election was won by=D-R=168000-132000=36000 votes
so option C is correct.

First let's calculate what percentage of votes each party got. if D got 12% more than R, it means that if I subtract 12% of votes from D they both would have the same amount of votes so :
So 132000 votes is 44% and we need to know how much is 12%. One of the ways we can do this is dividing 132000 by 44 so we know what 1% is and then multiply that by 12. That gives us :
Note - Percent = %
