Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMK polled 69,296 votes, 17× the 4,071-vote margin.
69,296 ÷ 4,071 = 17.0
The top two polled 66.0% of votes; the other 18 candidates 33.7% between them.
(79,907 + 75,836) ÷ 2,35,875 = 66.0% · 79,538 ÷ 2,35,875 = 33.7%
Turnout of 93.9% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
93.9 − 86.6 = +7.3
