Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 9,014 votes, 12× the 760-vote margin.

    9,014 ÷ 760 = 11.9

  2. The top two polled 43.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 54.0% between them.

    (9,971 + 9,211) ÷ 44,375 = 43.2% · 23,954 ÷ 44,375 = 54.0%

  3. Turnout of 48.6% was 6.8 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    48.6 − 41.8 = +6.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.7 pp in 1974 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 5.7 = −4.0 pp

  5. Ramesh Chandra Panda also won in 1974.
