Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 1,29,074 votes, 1.3× the 98,702-vote margin.

    1,29,074 ÷ 98,702 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 73.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 26.2% between them.

    (2,40,622 + 1,41,920) ÷ 5,18,666 = 73.8% · 1,36,124 ÷ 5,18,666 = 26.2%

  3. Turnout of 67.8% was 11.4 pp above the state's median seat (56.4%).

    67.8 − 56.4 = +11.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.4 pp in 1977 to 19.0 pp.

    19.0 − 26.4 = −7.4 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1977.
