Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (3,43,184 + 3,30,572) ÷ 7,03,865 = 95.7% · 20,099 ÷ 7,03,865 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 83.8% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (79.1%).

    83.8 − 79.1 = +4.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 1980 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 16.4 = −14.6 pp

  4. Chitta Basu, the 1980 winner, finished second in 1984.

    1980 winner name = 1984 runner-up name
