Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.1% between them.

    (4,905 + 254) ÷ 5,610 = 92.0% · 175 ÷ 5,610 = 3.1%

  2. Turnout of 8.7% was 17.9 pp below the state's median seat (26.6%).

    8.7 − 26.6 = −17.9

  3. The margin widened from 30.5 pp in 1978 to 82.9 pp.

    82.9 − 30.5 = +52.4 pp

  4. Keshab Chandra Gogoi also won in 1978.
