Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed AIADMK polled 38,767 votes, 1.4× the 27,086-vote margin.
38,767 ÷ 27,086 = 1.4
The top two polled 72.4% of votes; the other 22 candidates 27.0% between them.
(76,092 + 49,006) ÷ 1,72,831 = 72.4% · 46,703 ÷ 1,72,831 = 27.0%
Turnout of 85.7% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).
85.7 − 86.6 = −0.9
