Which formula will determine victory and defeat?

The members of Rajya Sabha are elected by the MLAs. Under the election formula, the total number of MLAs is divided by adding 1 to the vacant seats of Rajya Sabha. For example, there are 200 MLAs in Rajasthan and 3 seats in Rajya Sabha are vacant. In such a situation, on dividing 200 by 3+1(=4), the number comes to 50. By adding one to it it becomes 51. In this way each candidate needs 51 votes to win.
