Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 16,333 votes, 3.0× the 5,431-vote margin.
16,333 ÷ 5,431 = 3.0
The top two polled 76.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 23.3% between them.
(49,838 + 44,407) ÷ 1,22,951 = 76.7% · 28,704 ÷ 1,22,951 = 23.3%
Turnout of 60.8% was 5.0 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
60.8 − 55.8 = +5.0
