Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed AIADMK polled 61,736 votes, 7.9× the 7,768-vote margin.
61,736 ÷ 7,768 = 7.9
The top two polled 58.8% of votes; the other 20 candidates 40.9% between them.
(75,664 + 67,896) ÷ 2,44,319 = 58.8% · 99,920 ÷ 2,44,319 = 40.9%
Turnout of 86.3% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).
86.3 − 86.6 = −0.3
