Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 27,417 votes, 2.5× the 10,848-vote margin.

    27,417 ÷ 10,848 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 77.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 22.3% between them.

    (80,603 + 69,755) ÷ 1,93,529 = 77.7% · 43,171 ÷ 1,93,529 = 22.3%

  3. Turnout of 84.9% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.9 − 83.7 = +1.2

  4. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 2011 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 0.3 = +5.3 pp

  5. Arup Kumar Khan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
