Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JNP polled 46,362 votes, 8.1× the 5,743-vote margin.
46,362 ÷ 5,743 = 8.1
The top two polled 82.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 14.9% between them.
(1,77,579 + 1,71,836) ÷ 4,22,753 = 82.7% · 63,146 ÷ 4,22,753 = 14.9%
Turnout of 61.3% was 15.4 pp above the state's median seat (45.9%).
61.3 − 45.9 = +15.4
The margin narrowed from 36.4 pp in 1977 to 1.4 pp.
