Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (2,48,276 + 1,78,633) ÷ 4,89,049 = 87.3% · 62,140 ÷ 4,89,049 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 64.6% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (65.2%).

    64.6 − 65.2 = −0.6

  3. The margin widened from 13.8 pp in 1984 to 14.2 pp.

    14.2 − 13.8 = +0.4 pp

  4. Rajinder Singh Sparrow also won in 1984.
