Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,57,923 votes, 1.7× the 1,53,877-vote margin.

    2,57,923 ÷ 1,53,877 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 10 candidates 33.6% between them.

    (4,68,277 + 3,14,400) ÷ 12,04,675 = 65.0% · 4,05,272 ÷ 12,04,675 = 33.6%

  3. Turnout of 81.8% was 1.2 pp below the state's median seat (83.0%).

    81.8 − 83.0 = −1.2

  4. The margin widened from 2.1 pp in 2009 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 2.1 = +10.7 pp

  5. Narahari Mahato, the 2009 winner, finished second in 2014.

    2009 winner name = 2014 runner-up name
