Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 10,172 votes, 6.0× the 1,709-vote margin.

    10,172 ÷ 1,709 = 6.0

  2. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.8% between them.

    (64,288 + 62,579) ÷ 1,42,341 = 89.1% · 15,416 ÷ 1,42,341 = 10.8%

  3. Turnout of 81.3% was 4.0 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    81.3 − 77.3 = +4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 1999 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 7.5 = −6.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1999, CPI(M) in 2001.
