Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed NCP polled 5,724 votes, 2.2× the 2,592-vote margin.

    5,724 ÷ 2,592 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 59.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 40.3% between them.

    (8,347 + 5,755) ÷ 23,628 = 59.7% · 9,523 ÷ 23,628 = 40.3%

  3. Turnout of 77.8% was 14.2 pp below the state's median seat (92.0%).

    77.8 − 92.0 = −14.2

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, BJP in 2003.
