Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 11,950 votes, 2.3× the 5,296-vote margin.

    11,950 ÷ 5,296 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 82.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 15.2% between them.

    (35,321 + 30,025) ÷ 78,867 = 82.9% · 11,950 ÷ 78,867 = 15.2%

  3. Turnout of 83.6% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    83.6 − 78.7 = +4.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.8 pp in 1977 to 6.7 pp.

    6.7 − 17.8 = −11.1 pp

  5. SUCI(C) held the seat it won in 1977.
