Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 7,658 votes, 22× the 356-vote margin.

    7,658 ÷ 356 = 21.5

  2. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.8% between them.

    (41,694 + 41,338) ÷ 91,676 = 90.6% · 8,071 ÷ 91,676 = 8.8%

  3. Turnout of 79.4% was 1.2 pp below the state's median seat (80.6%).

    79.4 − 80.6 = −1.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.9 pp in 1985 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 14.9 = −14.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIML in 1985, JNP in 1987.

    1985 AIML · 1987 JNP
