Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,20,881 votes, 2.5× the 87,461-vote margin.

    2,20,881 ÷ 87,461 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 73.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 25.7% between them.

    (4,88,747 + 4,01,286) ÷ 12,19,119 = 73.0% · 3,13,197 ÷ 12,19,119 = 25.7%

  3. Turnout of 72.7% was 10.3 pp above the state's median seat (62.4%).

    72.7 − 62.4 = +10.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.1 pp in 2009 to 7.2 pp.

    7.2 − 15.1 = −7.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2009, BJP in 2014.
