Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RJD polled 1,33,467 votes, 2.4× the 54,866-vote margin.

    1,33,467 ÷ 54,866 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 55.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 45.0% between them.

    (2,05,980 + 1,51,114) ÷ 6,49,116 = 55.0% · 2,92,064 ÷ 6,49,116 = 45.0%

  3. Turnout of 53.1% was 4.5 pp below the state's median seat (57.6%).

    53.1 − 57.6 = −4.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.1 pp in 1999 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 12.1 = −3.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD(U) in 1999, BJP in 2004.
