Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 36,110 votes, 6.2× the 5,822-vote margin.
36,110 ÷ 5,822 = 6.2
The top two polled 54.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 45.1% between them.
(42,180 + 36,358) ÷ 1,43,020 = 54.9% · 64,476 ÷ 1,43,020 = 45.1%
Turnout of 54.1% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
54.1 − 55.8 = −1.7
