Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed AIADMK polled 18,420 votes, 1.3× the 14,249-vote margin.
18,420 ÷ 14,249 = 1.3
The top two polled 81.6% of votes; the other 26 candidates 18.0% between them.
(59,091 + 44,842) ÷ 1,27,356 = 81.6% · 22,964 ÷ 1,27,356 = 18.0%
Turnout of 79.5% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).
79.5 − 86.6 = −7.1
