Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 16,414 votes, 1.1× the 14,415-vote margin.

    16,414 ÷ 14,415 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 66.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 32.6% between them.

    (38,984 + 24,569) ÷ 95,743 = 66.4% · 31,228 ÷ 95,743 = 32.6%

  3. Turnout of 68.2% was 5.9 pp above the state's median seat (62.3%).

    68.2 − 62.3 = +5.9

  4. The margin widened from 10.5 pp in 1971 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 10.5 = +4.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1971, AIADMK in 1977.
