Solution

The correct option is C Afghanistan lost by 5 runs.
Par score after rain intervention in the 1st innings = 200 + 17% of 200 = 234 = 235 runs
Par score after rain intervention in the 2nd innings = 235 - 38% of 235 = 145.7 runs = 150 runs
Afghanistan has scored 145 runs but the par score is 150. Hence, they lost the match by 150 - 145 = 5 runs. Hence, Afghanistan lost by 5 runs.
