Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 1,10,749 votes, 1.3× the 83,384-vote margin.

    1,10,749 ÷ 83,384 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 77.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 22.7% between them.

    (2,60,222 + 1,76,838) ÷ 5,65,588 = 77.3% · 1,28,528 ÷ 5,65,588 = 22.7%

  3. Turnout of 67.2% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (65.2%).

    67.2 − 65.2 = +2.0

  4. The margin widened from 14.1 pp in 1984 to 14.7 pp.

    14.7 − 14.1 = +0.6 pp

  5. Teja Singh Dardi also won in 1984.

    1984 winner name = 1985 winner name
