Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 4,600 votes, 1.8× the 2,582-vote margin.

    4,600 ÷ 2,582 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 8.9% between them.

    (50,659 + 48,077) ÷ 1,08,611 = 90.9% · 9,717 ÷ 1,08,611 = 8.9%

  3. Turnout of 77.3% matched the state's median seat.

    77.3 − 77.3 = 0.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.3 pp in 1996 to 2.4 pp.

    2.4 − 3.3 = −0.9 pp

  5. Anupam Sen, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
