Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 33,442 votes, 5.2× the 6,375-vote margin.
33,442 ÷ 6,375 = 5.2
The top two polled 55.3% of votes; the other 11 candidates 44.7% between them.
(42,761 + 36,386) ÷ 1,43,058 = 55.3% · 63,906 ÷ 1,43,058 = 44.7%
Turnout of 63.1% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
63.1 − 55.8 = +7.3
