Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 17,038 votes, 4.2× the 4,025-vote margin.

    17,038 ÷ 4,025 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 71.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 24.3% between them.

    (31,895 + 27,870) ÷ 83,908 = 71.2% · 20,383 ÷ 83,908 = 24.3%

  3. Turnout of 75.2% was 7.4 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    75.2 − 67.8 = +7.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.5 pp in 1980 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 20.5 = −15.7 pp

  5. Dilbagh Singh also won in 1980.
