Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 34,250 votes, 2.4× the 14,290-vote margin.
34,250 ÷ 14,290 = 2.4
The top two polled 62.1% of votes; the other 10 candidates 37.9% between them.
(51,105 + 36,815) ÷ 1,41,655 = 62.1% · 53,735 ÷ 1,41,655 = 37.9%
Turnout of 61.3% was 5.5 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
61.3 − 55.8 = +5.5
