Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 5,437 votes, 1.1× the 5,084-vote margin.

    5,437 ÷ 5,084 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.8% between them.

    (49,264 + 44,180) ÷ 1,03,128 = 90.6% · 5,974 ÷ 1,03,128 = 5.8%

  3. Turnout of 70.7% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (73.4%).

    70.7 − 73.4 = −2.7

  4. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 1987 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 2.2 = +2.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1987, CPI(M) in 1991.

    1987 INC · 1991 CPI(M)
