Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 70,001 votes, 1.5× the 47,343-vote margin.

    70,001 ÷ 47,343 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 67.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 32.1% between them.

    (1,98,781 + 1,51,438) ÷ 5,15,490 = 67.9% · 1,65,258 ÷ 5,15,490 = 32.1%

  3. Turnout of 42.2% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (44.2%).

    42.2 − 44.2 = −2.0

  4. The margin widened from 4.3 pp in 2004 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 4.3 = +4.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: RJD in 2004, BJP in 2009.
