Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JD polled 1,01,293 votes, 3.0× the 33,727-vote margin.
1,01,293 ÷ 33,727 = 3.0
The top two polled 57.0% of votes; the other 16 candidates 43.0% between them.
(1,55,650 + 1,21,923) ÷ 4,86,673 = 57.0% · 2,09,100 ÷ 4,86,673 = 43.0%
Turnout of 54.3% was 7.0 pp above the state's median seat (47.3%).
54.3 − 47.3 = +7.0
The margin widened from 3.1 pp in 1989 to 6.9 pp.
6.9 − 3.1 = +3.8 pp
The seat changed hands: JD in 1989, BJP in 1991.
