Use the sum of AP series concept, where Sn= 66, first term a1=1, common difference d=1, then find n. Putting all the values in the formula of Sn we get, n^2+n-132=0 Required answer= n+1 which will come to be 12 (OPTION B)

If there are N people then there would be shakehands with N-1 people. N(N-1)/2 = 66 N^2 - N - 132=0 N=12 people in the party. Option B is the right answer.
