Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed LS polled 2,04,359 votes, 1.6× the 1,27,055-vote margin.

    2,04,359 ÷ 1,27,055 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 26.4% between them.

    (3,60,761 + 2,33,706) ÷ 8,25,229 = 72.0% · 2,17,862 ÷ 8,25,229 = 26.4%

  3. Turnout of 72.1% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (67.2%).

    72.1 − 67.2 = +4.9

  4. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 1996 to 15.4 pp.

    15.4 − 2.2 = +13.2 pp

  5. R.L.Jalappa also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
