Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 7.5% between them.

    (1,79,681 + 1,10,048) ÷ 3,21,742 = 90.1% · 24,151 ÷ 3,21,742 = 7.5%

  2. Turnout of 54.0% was 7.0 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    54.0 − 61.0 = −7.0

  3. The seat changed hands: IND in 1956, BLD in 1977.

    1956 IND · 1977 BLD
