Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,830 votes, 15× the 123-vote margin.

    1,830 ÷ 123 = 14.9

  2. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.0% between them.

    (30,450 + 30,327) ÷ 63,486 = 95.7% · 2,526 ÷ 63,486 = 4.0%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    78.9 − 74.4 = +4.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.3 pp in 1980 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 7.3 = −7.1 pp

  5. A. C. Jose, the 1980 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1980 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
