Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 1,96,710 votes, 3.0× the 65,515-vote margin.

    1,96,710 ÷ 65,515 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 66.6% of votes; the other 14 candidates 33.4% between them.

    (2,95,603 + 2,30,088) ÷ 7,89,264 = 66.6% · 2,63,573 ÷ 7,89,264 = 33.4%

  3. Turnout of 65.6% was 11.1 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    65.6 − 54.5 = +11.1

  4. The margin widened from 7.1 pp in 1996 to 8.3 pp.

    8.3 − 7.1 = +1.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 1996, BJP in 1998.
