Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,277 votes, 2.7× the 2,318-vote margin.

    6,277 ÷ 2,318 = 2.7

  2. The top two polled 76.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 21.3% between them.

    (17,246 + 14,928) ÷ 42,116 = 76.4% · 8,975 ÷ 42,116 = 21.3%

  3. Turnout of 45.9% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    45.9 − 41.8 = +4.1

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 1974 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 0.1 = +5.4 pp

  5. Banamali Das, the 1974 winner, finished second in 1977.

    1974 winner name = 1977 runner-up name
