Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,16,354 votes, 9.5× the 12,258-vote margin.

    1,16,354 ÷ 12,258 = 9.5

  2. The top two polled 65.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 34.1% between them.

    (1,55,589 + 1,43,331) ÷ 4,53,859 = 65.9% · 1,54,939 ÷ 4,53,859 = 34.1%

  3. Turnout of 78.1% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (76.6%).

    78.1 − 76.6 = +1.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 32.0 pp in 1977 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 32.0 = −29.3 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1977.
