Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 35,392 votes, 1.2× the 30,059-vote margin.

    35,392 ÷ 30,059 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 74.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 25.5% between them.

    (1,04,163 + 74,104) ÷ 2,39,230 = 74.5% · 60,963 ÷ 2,39,230 = 25.5%

  3. Turnout of 56.6% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (58.1%).

    56.6 − 58.1 = −1.5

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
