Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed CPI(M) polled 37,293 votes, 112× the 332-vote margin.
37,293 ÷ 332 = 112.3
The top two polled 54.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 45.8% between them.
(37,785 + 37,453) ÷ 1,38,854 = 54.2% · 63,614 ÷ 1,38,854 = 45.8%
Turnout of 51.2% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
51.2 − 55.8 = −4.6
